Adventurous Upcrafting Ventures by Markus Wernli

“…Since 2015, the Research Institute of Organic Treasures (R.I.O.T.) has combined fermentation practices and social experimentation in Hong Kong to give biological byproducts from human and urban metabolisms a regenerative purpose. Here putrescible wastes emitted from our kitchens, toilets, and bodies are considered our most foundational design material that contributes to a “world of eaters” (DuPuis 2015). …”

Green topologies and landscapes beyond the land. A 30-years research on green hybridization by Manuel Gausa

“… New urban metabolisms and their faster anthropic status require new inter-connected environmental systems, able to encourage effective interaction between inter-and endo-urban ‘factories’ and ‘landscapes’, but a new, much more fluid and transversal ‘green’ dimension, aimed at fostering a fertile encounter between nature and the city, eco-structure and infrastructure, technology, topography and topology, interweaving the territory, reinforming its very structural fabrics and above all ‘renaturalising’, through flexible meshes, its diverse and varied pre-existences. …”

The frontiers of North America’s fossil fuel boom: BP, Tar Sands, and the re-industrialization of the Calumet Region by Graham Pickren

“…Today, this combination of productivity and plunder continues in the region, illustrating urban metabolisms that are not confined to the city. In the second empirical section of the article, I argue that despite predictions of crises arising from declining ecological surpluses, in Calumet today, BP is finding new frontiers of surplus value production, both in the form of producing petcoke and in continued geographic expansion in the region. …”
