Considering the application of technology

We do not want people's physical intervention with the site- but a visual, virtual interaction.

This website is an example of the interaction we are looking at.

Rio 2010 Convention on Biological Diversity



This is the official promotional video for the 2010 Convention on Biological Diversity.
The clip describes the importance of biodiversity for the ecosystems and for humans.
David Minter, President of the European Mycological Association notes that the video fails to include or make any reference to fungi's role within biodiversity.

Focus on small scale




For our Technonatures project, we are to develop design proposals that address habitats and biodiversity on this small area on the campus, the Network Rail right-of-way at souther-eastern edge of the grounds.


Our interest is on moss and biodiversity in general, and this will develop as we get to know more about the site and the organisms we tend to forget about.
