our vision:
we seek to contribute to a shift in how we humans understand ourselves in relation to the natural world. we believe that if more of us can come to truly fathom the truth of our interconnectedness within the ecosystems we inhabit, we believe that a fundamental shift in how we design our built environments shall happen.
biophilia treehouse is a project by counterforce lab.
the counterforce lab is an initiative by professor rebeca méndez. it is a research and fieldwork studio based in the design media arts department at ucla, dedicated to using art and design to develop creative collaborations, new fields of study, and methods to research, create, and execute projects that investigate and mitigate the social and ecological concerns of the anthropocene era, a time when human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
