Description
Urban Wild Ecology presents the architectural practice and research of Fuminori Nousaku and Mio Tsuneyama, whose work critically addresses the relationship between contemporary cities and ecological systems.
The architects describe architecture as a network connecting multiple species rather than a purely human-centered construction. Their vision proposes dismantling and reorganizing modern urban environments through subtle and weak forces—comparable to fungi gradually decomposing and transforming ecosystems—allowing new forms of coexistence to emerge.
Through built works, research projects, and conceptual explorations, the book documents attempts to redefine architecture’s role within broader ecological and social frameworks. Rather than imposing order, their projects seek to cultivate conditions in which humans and non-human species can share habitats.
Published in a bilingual format, the book serves as both a project archive and a theoretical reflection, offering valuable insight into emerging directions of ecological architectural practice.
