Publications & how we have come to share our work in the world collaborating with others
Kathryn Langstaff, M.Arch. co-founded Autopoiesis, LLC with Dr. Stuart Cowan. Together they used Ecological Design and frameworks such as The Natural Step and the Precautionary Principle to inform their research and projects.
Kathryn brings wholeness and life into buildings, sites, landscapes, and processes through harmonizing life's energy. She is devoted to living processes that strengthen belonging, vitality and dignity within the people and places where she collaborates, generating healing and regeneration. She trained and taught with Sim Van der Ryn, "Father of Green Architecture" and Christopher Alexander, one of the great contemporary design theorists and architects whose awareness of subtle energy and feeling create design processes that generate wholeness and foster well being in design and place making.
