This grant supported the exhibition "Contemporary Nature Near: Material Experimentation in Architecture and Design" which examines the role of nature as a starting point for material experimentation in the domains of architecture, craft, and science. While nature has often stood in as a model, metaphor, or resource for designers, the recent global upheavals in climate, ecology, and technology are driving intensified understandings of natures tangible and imagined substrate.
