Abstract

BioDiveIn is one of several interventions developed by collaborative efforts. These are testing the transition towards Post-Anthropocene and ecological aesthetics. The intervention offers multiple species habitats, edible landscapes and water pools for bats, swifts, small-sized birds, squirrels, insects and plants. The intervention (touch point) is also equipped with two QR codes—one leading to DIY recipes to multiply the installation and one to spot-a-bee application for joining the citizen science on pollinators. The intervention was codesigned through gigamapping and full-scale prototyping through an experimental systems oriented design studio course with students, invited experts and other stakeholders. It resulted in DIY events and a launch with a gardening party to accommodate the plants in the prototype.
