  This text proposes a fusion between ecology and technology that goes beyond accepted theories of sustainability and suggests a new role for architecture. It serves to reassess our collective ecological and technological illiteracy by placing a priority on learning from, as well as for nature. This collection of essays stems from a series of international multidisciplinary forums and workshops sponsored by StoreFront for Art and Architecture. It brings together biologists, physicists, geologists, artists, architects and social critics in order to generate site-specific projects and writings. Essays in the collection include The Object of Ecosophy by Felix Guattari, The Nonlinear Development of Cities by Manuel DeLanda and Smog Monster: Environmental Notes from the Pac-Rim .
