Built Ecologies: Architecture and Environment is a video series featuring prominent architects and thinkers doing innovative work on environmental and ecological topics. In each episode, the subjects are invited to define “architecture” and “environment,” producing a through-line between videos that otherwise capture a wide variety of practices and backgrounds. Available on MoMA’s YouTube channel and on moma.org, the videos draw viewers deeper into major recent topics around architecture and the environment.

This series was made possible through a generous gift from Emilio Ambasz. The Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and the Natural Environment is a platform for fostering dialogue, promoting conversation, and facilitating research about the relationship between the built and natural environment, with the aim of making the interaction between architecture and ecology visible and accessible to the wider public while highlighting the urgent need for an ecological recalibration.
