When people think of 3D printing, they often think of plastic structures. But Virginia San Fratello, Chair of Design at San Jose State University, experiments in printing with materials like sand, clay, sawdust and even bonemeal to create haptic and comfortable structures made from local waste. Vanessa Costalonga, a PhD candidate at the CEA Lab at ETH Zurich, talks with her about how her multidisciplinary approaches fuse science and art in her teaching, her practice, and even to help coral reefs regenerate.

Local traditional ecological knowledge with Dr. Julia Watson
Many of the current efforts to mitigate climate change and its effects rely on digital solutions. But what would our designs for landscapes and buildings of the future look like if we slowed down and paid more attention to the traditional knowledge that humans have acquired over millennia?
Julia Watson is an urban designer and best-selling author on nature-based technologies for climate resilience. She teaches urban design at Colombia University in New York. In this interview, she discusses climate change awareness and indigenous technologies in sustainable building and education.
