AT6012 Technology Transformations

Resources for Design Research (Building Change microcreds.ie)

Exploring transformations across ecology, energy, and design systems — AT6012 empowers you to integrate methods into regenerative practice.

🌐 StuCAN Festival 2025 Theme: Entanglement

Reciprocity in the Built Environment — This year's StuCAN Festival explores "more-than-human" relationships across global and local scales: land, communities, materials, systems, flora, and fauna.

AT6012 Connection: Our module aligns with this theme by integrating quantum ecology (entanglement, emergence), thermodynamics (energy flows), emergy analysis (embodied transformities), and multi-scalar atlassing to situate design within the complexities of our shared planet.

Festival Date: Saturday 18th – Sunday 19th October 2025 | Glasgow, Scotland
