<p>Featured in the second issue of <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150064205/archinect-is-pleased-to-release-ed-2-architecture-of-disaster" target="_blank">Archinect's print publication Ed Issue 2, <em>The Architecture of Disaster</em></a>, the duo discussed their project <a href="https://archinect.com/features/article/150089008/cooking-sections-explains-their-efforts-to-adapt-to-changing-ecosystems-through-food-and-architecture" target="_blank"><em>CLIMAVORE: On Tidal Zones</em></a>. Using a lightweight installation to explore the changing nature of Loch Portree's waters in Scotland, the pair explains their goals to adapt to changing ecosystems through food and architecture.
