Ecological Graphic Novel

Beschreibung

In her groundbreaking new publication, Dr. Assia Crawford takes readers on a captivating journey at the intersection of architecture, science, and critical theory. A distinguished Assistant Professor in Technology with a Ph.D. in Architecture, Crawford pioneers a visionary exploration of bio-design practices, experimental bio-fabrication methods, and the ethical considerations surrounding the manipulation of living organisms. This unique work emerges from Crawford's creative practice research, which is deeply rooted in the development of biological material alternatives and digital fabrication practices tailored for a post-Anthropocene era. The ecological graphic novel format serves as a dynamic medium for conveying complex ideas about the symbiotic relationship between human and non- human entities, pushing the boundaries of traditional academic discourse.
