UnEarthed: Scaling Transdisciplinary from Blacksburg to the Biennale is a groundbreaking chronicle highlighting Virginia Tech’s commitment to transdisciplinary education while providing students international exposure and a platform for critical global conversations. It documents the process and content of the 2025 Biennale Architettura exhibit unEarthed / Second Nature / PolliNATION presented by the VT Honors College in collaboration with Cloud 9 and Joba Studio. The volume features projects from VT Honors students, Cloud 9, and collaborators representing diverse viewpoints and values aligned with the event’s collective intelligence theme.
This book arrives at a crucial moment to discuss the permeability between sectors and scales and the need to work across time, regions, and values to reestablish balance between humans and nature. Through transdisciplinary education and design, it seeks to build a foundation for ecological and cultural preservation by unEarthing solutions to the planet’s most critical challenges.
