Thesis Title:

Form Follows Science: An Approach for Reversing the Anthropocene

Tunnel

This thesis presents a three-part approach where scientific research drives the materialisation and formation of architectural designs that strive to make the invisible effects of anthropogenic environmental change undeniably apparent. I argue that architecture is a provocative storyteller. Thus, the approach outlined in this paper is centered around the narrative of the Anthropocene and how architecture can make it seen. This thesis is complementary to a project which was developed in collaboration with architecture student Sarah Perrino and Associate Professor at the School of Architecture Prof. Julie Larsen.
