COLife_04 - Multi-Scale More-than-Human Atlas Gigamaping, Ecosystem Mapping and CoDesigning

<p>The dataset presents the Multi-Scale More-than-Human Atlas Gigamapping Workshop output that should evaluate and suggest new developments of COLife project prototyping. We also gathered the ecological check data and planted new species with gardening and seedbombs. This was all elaborated in the workshop and speculated on within the <a href="https://www.enactingecologicalaesthetics.com/">'Enacting Bateson's Ecological Aesthetics in Architecture and Design'</a> team.</p>

<p>The workshop aimed to explore - from a multi-scale and transdisciplinary more-than-human perspective - the place-specific potential of the POL-AI, BioDiveln and NetWall prototypes in leveraging the Stuttgart University campus’s urban ecosystem. The investigation was conducted through the Multi-Scale Atlas (Porqueddu 2018, 2022, 2023) a tool for systemic enquiry which enables designers to (1) explore the cross-scale relationships in which place-specific spatial configurations are immersed, (2) frame them as parts of complex socio-material-environmental systems which evolve in a non-linear manner over time, (3) identify leverage points for design actions. The Atlas combines a multi-layer observation with multi-scale mapping with more-than-human perspective. This makes it possible to explore the relationships between seemingly separated perspectives and to intersect data collected through investigations from different disciplines, thus enhancing their potential synergies in fostering place-specific cycles of urban self-regeneration.</p>
