Home on Earth
Home on Earth is a
collaborative research project that uses methods of design thinking to draw from
disciplines of Botany, Library Science, and the Built Environment and make connections
between plants, special collections, and built projects. The larger
significance of Home on Earth is its effort
to produce new methods for communicating complex realities of climate change to
a general audience. The final product for Home
on Earth will be a published book and artifact collections (physical and
digital).
