“Living Among Pests – Designing for the Biosynthetic City” is published in Next Nature.
“Biosynthetic design is usually discussed at the scale of the individual product. But the city – itself a mixture of synthetic interventions within biological systems – can be considered a more complex piece of biosynthetic design. Conversations in urban planning have moved away from blunt engineering and the evisceration of species to serve human convenience, towards balanced management and co-existence. Joyce Hwang discusses the challenges for designers, and gains for citizens, of living in a truly biosynthetic city”
The essay originally appeared in Volume Magazine #35.

The City of Buffalo is undergoing a massive overhaul of its land use and zoning policies, an effort which will result in the new Buffalo Green Code. Indeed, the city’s current zoning ordinances are ‘outdated’ and in need of revision. But are there latent opportunities that exist within the structure of Buffalo’s Zoning Codes? GENERATIVE ZONING will explore what we can already do within the current framework and speculate on potential future uses. COMING SOON…
