ABOUT

The Almanac Project is a prototype installation which measures the biodiversity and ecological health of urban spaces, forested spaces, and all shades in between. It is a physical representation of spatial biodiversity, synthesizing readings of plant mass, species type, and species biodiversity. The aim of this project is to distill many measurements of environment and physiological response into a measurement of “wildness,” and compare this to human perception surveys. Finally, the broad aim of this project is to bring public awareness to the disappearing biodiversity all around us, and its impact on society.
