BOTANIZING THE
ASPHALT

BOTANIZING THE ASPHALT situates itself within the Deleuzian model and treats urban-landscape design as a form of activism that proposes an urban-ecology resulting from non-linear networks of urban processes—such as waterways, agronomy, human movement, safety, economics, and social dynamics. The emphasis is on creating conditions for these networks to activate, strengthen, sustain, and re-emerge as new possibilities for a continued and enriched urban experience. Deleuzian alliances enable interdependency among various life-forms and environments; transecting the nature-culture divide; and encourage adaptability.
