Habitat: Expanding ArchitectureHabitat: Expanding Architecture

Habitat: Ecology Thinking in Architecture is a new look at ecological thinking and a contribution to its historiography. Including work by Jaap Bakema, Aldo van Eyck, Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and many others.

Ecology is now a well-known concept in architecture and urban planning. The research installation Habitat: Expanding Architecture, on show from 19 October, highlights one of the first moments in which ecological thinking was introduced in architectural discussions: the tenth CIAM congress in Dubrovnik, 1956.
