PB - Actar Publishers KW - Architecture KW - Deep-sea mining KW - Ocean acidification KW - Terrarium N1 - The series of architectural projects becomes a medium to synthesize different forms and scales of knowledge on technological externalities, such as oil extraction, deep-sea mining, ocean acidification, water shortage, air pollution, trash, space debris, and a host of other social-ecological issues.
