Designing for Diversity: Exploring Architectural Multispecies Building Design

Abstract

Ethan Sophia

In recent times, the architectural design landscape has witnessed a notable shift towards inclusivity, extending beyond human occupants to encompass the diverse array of species coexisting within our environment. This evolving discipline, termed architectural multispecies design, endeavors to craft built environments that cater to the requirements of numerous living organisms, promoting biodiversity and bolstering ecological stability. This piece delves into the principles, hurdles, and methodologies intrinsic to architectural multispecies building design. At its core, architectural multispecies design is founded on the acknowledgment of the interdependence among all forms of life and the realization of the repercussions of human actions on ecosystems.
