Fall 2019 seminar: M.S. AAD candidate, architecture
Eleanor Krause carries a bachelor of arts from Middlebury College where she studied architecture and public health. As a graduate student in Cornell’s professional architecture program, her studies have largely focused on the physical, psychological, and phenomenological impacts and potentials of climate change across projective futures. She believes that architecture, being a primary mediator between people and their surroundings, carries an opportunity and responsibility to not only respond to climate change "sustainably" but to radically reconsider the lines we draw between ourselves and the planet. Her master's thesis proposes an architecture that will register, catalyze, and amplify shifting natural systems to bring environmental change to visibility.
