G02 Habitat Design

Cf.

Niche construction, organism/environment as the contrast. 1

How can numerical analysis and modelling better support more-than-human approaches to design and production of replacement habitat structures in degraded environments?

Artificial refugia

What is the relationship with niches Wha is the responsibillites of human designers

Is it important to show the connection to modelling?
