Led by Leann Andrews, assistant professor of landscape architecture, this studio course took place during spring 2023 with support from the Hamer Center for Community Design, Institutes of Energy and the Environment, and the Department of Landscape Architecture.
The studio connects with the informal amphibious slum community of Claverito in Iquitos, Peru, to address One Health issues through the design of their built environment. This studio also builds upon the InterACTION Labs program, a transdisciplinary action research and training program with partnerships between the Community of Claverito, Penn State, the University of Washington, the Centro de Investigaciones Tecnológicas Biomédicas y Medioambientales, the Universidad Nacional de la Amazonía Peruana Traction, and the National Institutes of Health in both the United States and Peru.
