Metabolic Landscapes
The Landscape Habitats Research Field addresses elemental habitats of soil, water and air – first for their own sake, then as the basis for regional conservation efforts, and finally as material and energetic cycles enabling the creation of a ‘second nature’.
In the context of Open Fields Lunch Discussion Series, we invite you to participate in landscape Habitats lunch seminar on the topic of Metabolic landscapes. This event will provide an opportunity to interact with researchers in various interdisciplinary fields and to foster new collaborations within the EPFL scientific community.
In the urbanization transition taking place in cities around the world today, human-climate interactions with the Metabolic Landscapes are an important area of interrogation as they provide an opportunity to explore how city expansion is adapting to the effects of climate change, and how urban design and planning can foster resilience and self-reliance in the city in relation to its own territories. We would also like to explore how cities are creating significant and consequential infrastructure in its large geography which is changing the nature of the city's landscape and its territory.
