Animals are invading the city. Coyotes are sighted on downtown streets, raccoons notoriously forage through greenbins, and bears are trapped in suburban backyards. Sarah Gunawan’s thesis entitled “Synanthropic Suburbia” explores these conditions and re-imagines human animal interactions in the domestic realm. A series of telescoping design experiments use architecture to structure hybrid relationships that positively contribute to the suburban ecosystem. Her thesis defence will take place on Thursday September 10th at 2PM in the Loft.
