Winter Interdisciplinary Seminar “Perceptions of Nature”
This Seminar on “Perceptions of Nature in the dense city” will focus on “practices integrating ecological systems in dense urban environments”.
Content: There is a current trend to design green environments and infrastructure in dense cities, which claim to be “Natural” or “representing Nature.” What is the “Nature” that designers and planners are referring to – and for what purpose? Is Nature a pristine condition in an untouched environment or can it be a hybridization of human and natural systems? How do such definitions and perceptions impact both professional approaches, and the public acceptance of new design idioms?
Through lectures, readings and discussions, and one on-site workshop, this class will explore various perceptions and definitions of Nature associated with contemporary design processes and projects, especially in the context of climate change adaptation strategies. Independent research and case study will allow students to choose and investigate one particular aspect of these topics.

Job Opportunities at GreenPeace
Greenpeace is currently hiring for Frontline Representatives, which is essentially a fundraising and engagement position. As an independent non-profit, the sweeping majority of our funding comes from our Frontline team and, as you already know, the time to tackle the environmental crisis with everything we have is now. This is an opportunity to educate the public on the most pressing issue humankind has ever faced, and raise critical funds for the world’s most prominent independent environmental justice group. From a career standpoint, this is a great opportunity for students to get their foot in the door with Greenpeace, as well as the environmental sector more generally speaking.

Architecture/Design Part Time Job
We’ve been invited to deliver some after school programing at a private school in Bellevue and are looking to hire a teaching artist. The school would like the project to focus on light rail. Given that focus, we thought someone with planning experience might be a good fit.
The position is only at one site, Open Windows in Bellevue, and only a couple of hours a week, so it’s very part time. The job announcement is posted here: https://seattlearchitecture.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2018-Winter-OST-SAF-Teacher_Description.pdf
If you have any suggestions of where we might be able to share this info and get some interested people please let us know.
Many thanks,
Kim
