description: With the climate crisis of today, architects are not being as proactive about engaging every step in the building process. By creating a system that is both technical and social, it allows for a revolutionary way to think about architecture. This new system crowd sources traditional forestry practices in order to inform the public about healthy practice and uses this new way of building to keep our carbon footprint low. The project on Mt. Katahdin utilizes crowd sourcing for harvesting the surrounding forest, creating hiker-built installations that intensify our sensorial experience with the environment. These installations that transform over their life cycle engage the user in different different ways throughout time. These entropic architectures account for their own consumptionallowing the forest to thrive, creating a constantly green, replicable architecture.
