“…Man's control of nature is considered problematic as it is representative of the subjugation (Scott 2016;Rawes & Spencer 2017), and has contributed to planetary health challenges such as natural resource depletion, biopiracy and changing disease patterns (Patrick 2019). These patriarchal modes of thinking have resulted in assumptions that there are 'technical fixes' to these challenges, and that the efficient distribution of resources is the answer (Bateson 1972;Goodbun 2012). Critical perspectives on justice and the capability approach offer compelling arguments (Shi et al 2016) for ecologically just design, which is conceived of a complex, open, system that creates space for 'slow change' and a complex, planetary, socioecological system (Goodbun 2012).…”

The planetary health concept describes the relations between health and climate. The inequities that connect these two domains are experienced most by low-resource and vulnerable populations, e.g. the impact of drought on subsistence livelihoods and associated mental health issues. Climate justice and health justice are framed through capabilities and integrated with ecofeminist approaches. Spatial justice is introduced as the ability to conceptualise how these interconnected injustices are mediated through environments. The integration of these theories can provide a justice-based planetary health approach that could overcome several barriers. Design and spatial practice offer processes and tools to understand the complexity of planetary health across scales, systems and relations; and to generate design solutions that promote equity and justice. Practical examples of Global South design projects are presented that connect health and climate. The example of a maternal health project in rural Kenya shows how a conceptual design framework for a justice-based planetary health can contribute to the planetary health. Practice relevance Global challenges of inequity are increasingly understood as complex and interconnected. The planetary health movement conceptualises a holistic view of the world incorporating an ecofeminist perspective. Addressing these challenges requires the ability to conceptualise interconnected injustices in climate and health and practical approaches, where participatory design processes can be useful. A conceptual framework can be used to design integrated solutions to planetary health injustices, relevant for built environment and development practitioners. The processes, tools and components of practice from the Global South are explored, which can be used to promote equity within the built environment.

“…78 Gregory Bateson 'considered that ecosystems had to be considered to be communicating and informational systems' and 'emphasised that to properly understand ecosystems, we need to find ways to think ecologically, recognising ourselves as a part of the system being observed or interacted with'. 79 Liverpool ONE is an immature ecosystem and as such dissipates energy quickly, poorly and inefficiently and is less diverse than mature ecosystems. I don't simply mean this because it is an urban environment lacking flora and fauna as I believe many urban environments are very diverse (not simply 'bio'-diverse) and many (mono-cultural) rural environments are homogenised.…”

“…Environmental issues emerge through the inclusion of "ecology" in architectural education. Terms such as performance ecology, ecological based concept, ecology and sustainability increasingly appear as themes and core subjects in architectural design studio (Goodbun, 2012). But in general ecology tend to be directly related to sustainability (Catalá, 2010) that implies a rather technical and qualitative point of view.…”

Architecture, both in the practice and the education, is moving toward a higher environmental awareness. It is shown from the inclusion of ecology as one of the core subject in the curriculum. But, ecology is dominantly viewed and learned through a scientific and qualitative approach rather than a creative design methodology. This paper argues that ecology always has a potential to become the basis of creative design process. There are three key aspects in learning ecology in architecture: learning ecology as reading complexity, as understanding dynamicity, and as building up awareness of our position as designers. These key learning aspects are enabled by the nature of architectural design studio as educational environment. This paper examines the key aspects of ecological learning within one of the design studio in Universitas Indonesia. The study concludes that there is a relationship between the learning stages of the design project and the ecological understanding of the students.
