Philosopher Dominique Bourg reflects on ecological thought and how creative practice can reshape our relationship with the living world. The lecture explores how artistic and design approaches challenge perceptions, generate new imaginaries, and propose ways of placing living systems at the heart of design for healthier habitats and buildings. Sociologists, construction professionals and designers contribute perspectives on habitability, materials and the design of living spaces, with contributions from Hélène Aguilar, Luca Pattaroni and Pierre-Alain L’Hôte.
