Description
As the built--and increasingly unbuilt--environments exhibit detrimental concentrations of toxicity as a result of anthropogenic forces, this class will look to biological components and processes as remediation tools in the design of cities, landscapes, and communities. Phytoremediation, mycoremediation, and microbial bioremediation are some of the processes by which living organisms act to degrade or transform hazardous contaminants and that will be engaged with respect to sustainability, urban design, and nature-culture constructs.
