Art Ecology Design is an art and design practice founded in 2011.
The studio’s practice focuses on art + fabrication, design + landscape, research + urbanism, and slow technology + social impact. This breadth allows us to understand each place or product in its scale and context, allowing a design approach that adapts to the specifics of a use case.
