The Second Ecology: Ecosystems Above the City
Written for ArchiGram Melbourne (AGM), explores the idea of rooftops as a connected ecological system and argues that Melbourne has the capacity to sustain multispecies habitats. Drawing on interviews with local beekeepers and ecological theory, it shows how green roofs, pollinator corridors, and rooftop micro-ecosystems could transform cities into resilient environments for humans and non-humans alike.
