Nature, Art & Habitat's book of essays and images from various disciplines posits future pathways for healing the relationship of the built and natural world by focusing on critical environmental elements. This book shares stories of response to fundamental questions concerning nature and culture, contributing to the contemporary discourse regarding climate emergencies. Written by artists, architects, scientists, anthropologists, and environmentalists, each chapter - The Woods, Rock and Stone, Water, Grasses and Pastures, Animals, and Soil - is delicately integrated and shaped as a proactive polyphony, building hope against the current ecological crisis. Along a transect of elements from nature we take a broader view of the global situation whilst spending time noticing details of the local context. The book offers readers from a variety of backgrounds a rich exploration of the future of multi-disciplinary, eco-centric thinking in structured, thematic areas of concentration. It is provocative and forward looking, producing new scholarship and innovative works. A critical aspect of NAHR work resides in the visuals; each chapter opens with a dedicated graphic, and have illustrative works, in color, throughout. The written content includes an introduction by the chapter's editor, an essay on the global perspective, and an essay on the local context of the Italian Prealps and vicinities. Creative and scholarly actions engage with the world by shining a light on single moments, objects, or thoughts, whilst thinking laterally about the relations between nature and culture, urban and rural, and connecting the local with the global. This book has evolved in response to the concepts and methods that have characterized the essence and logic of a residency that is an eco-laboratory of multidisciplinary practice. The Nature, Art & Habitat Residency (NAHR) dedicates space and time to support scholars and creatives to inquire and reflect on a specific element of nature in the Taleggio Valley, part of the Orobie Prealps in Italy, every year.
