| dc.description.abstract | As a means of understanding landscape phenomenon, responsive modeling establishes a place to concurrently hinge between generating and testing hypotheses while incorporating the expanding agency of computational modeling and live data streams. Inspired by the ideas of process discourse and research through design, this project will investigate the harmful recurrence of algae blooms in South Florida waterways through the means of responsive modeling. Algae as Agents aims to define the responsive model as a research method via case study investigation and analysis; subsequently, responsive modeling practices and concepts has the potential to be translated from these case studies into the context of South Florida via projective design methodologies. The overall goal of the project is to establish an iterative design approach as the platform to understand the complexities of algae mitigation while simultaneously providing the researcher a place to test design outcomes experimentally. Following these design translations is a reflective meta-analysis revealing both the limitations and knowledge garnered throughout the design process. This discussion expands the meaning of the responsive model while providing it more definition within the realm of landscape architecture research strategies. By projecting responsive modeling concepts into this context, we have an opportunity to speculate upon this issue, illuminate algaeās nature through an apolitical lens, and expand our growing list of research design methodologies. | en_US |
