Adam Marcus, together with his Architectural Ecologies Lab co-directors Margaret Ikeda and Evan Jones, recently published the essay “Floating With: Buoyant Ecologies of Collaboration and Solidarity” in POOL, the student magazine of the Department of Architecture & Urban Design at the University of California, Los Angeles. The POOL editors invited the AEL to reflect on the Buoyant Ecologies project for the journal’s latest issue, FLOAT. The essay positions the Buoyant Ecologies research in opposition to and in critique of Seasteading and other libertarian visions of colonizing the ocean as a site for extractive, neoliberal capitalism. Instead, this work embraces Donna Haraway’s notion of sympoiesis and “making-with,” advocating a communal and collaborative relationship with the ocean as a site for interspecies exchange, interaction, and mutual resilience.
