The School of Architecture's Ehsan Baharlou, Dr.-Ing, with co-researchers from Environmental Sciences and Engineering, has developed a novel integration of material and fabrication methods to design living building structures with limited local resources. The team's research, previously on view at this year's Venice Biennale, is part of a traveling exhibition titled Living With / Vivre Avec now featured as part of the 6th Chicago Architecture Biennial. The work contributes to an international showcase of innovative design strategies that address how we can live and build within constraints.
ALT Villa Albertine presents Living With / Vivre Avec at the 6th Chicago Architecture Biennial. The exhibition on display in Chicago from November 8, 2025 to January 31, 2026, features 'Ecologically Active Structure' — a collaborative project by UVA's Ehsan Baharlou (Department of Architecture), David Carr (Department of Environmental Sciences), and Ji Ma (Department of Materials Science and Engineering).

Assistant Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning Vanessa Guerra, PhD, has been awarded a $30,000 grant from UVA's Environmental Institute(EI). The grant supports her cross-institutional research project, Community-Led Water Resilience in San Cristóbal: Participatory Mapping for Adaptive Infrastructure Planning in the Galápagos. This project examines how water insecurity is governed through informal, everyday practices in San Cristóbal, Galápagos, Ecuador.
