Adaptive Typologies focuses on climate resilience of the built environment on the architectural object scale. In Adaptive Typologies, students explore architectural objects, their characteristics, and their performative aspects as integrated components of the urban ecosystem. Students analyze, transform, and develop hybrid typologies merging physical, digital, and biological concepts and apply a digital mixed-methods approach, utilizing analytical, representational, and generative tools.

INTERDISCIPLINARITY
Adaptive Typologies is taught by an interdisciplinary team of instructors, including architecture, urban design + planning, civil + environmental engineering.
