Three more days left to vote for Field Studies: Growing a Biogenic Campus for the University at Buffalo in the 2026 Architizer A+ People’s Choice Award!
Created by NBW, LTL Architects, and Derive Engineers, the Biogenic Campus plan reimagines the future of higher education through regenerative design, climate resilience, and living systems that connect landscape, infrastructure, ecology, and community. The 50-year framework transforms the University at Buffalo’s South Campus into a biodiverse refuge that captures carbon, generates energy, grows biomaterials, and creates new spaces for learning and connection.

How International Design Teams, Students, and Faculty Reimagined the University at Buffalo as a Resilient Campus 🌳
Following The Resilient Campus competition, we spoke with UB School of Architecture and Planning @ubuffaloarchplan Dean Julia Czerniak @jules.cz, who oversaw the initiative, about the contest’s origin, ideas that were uncovered, and what a resilient built environment means in the 21st century.
"Sustainability asks how we live in a way that does not deplete our resources, whereas resilience refers to how a system withstands, adapts to, or recovers from disturbances," Czerniak told us. "How do we as designers work differently? What tools should we use? How do we do it? Those are not easy questions."

We are honored to receive First Place in The Resilient Campus International Design Competition, through a collaboration between LTL Architects + Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects + Derive Engineers! Our thanks to University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning (@ubuffaloarchplan) and the Jury.
Field Studies: Growing a Biogenic Campus, envisions a regenerative South Campus for the University at Buffalo (UB) that evolves to meet human and bioregional needs over the next half century and beyond. In response to climate extremes, the proposal reframes the campus as a vital system—one that grows its architecture through the cultivation of plant-based building materials to reduce embodied and operational carbon while sustaining healthful learning environments. Agroecological gardens function as living laboratories, while oak savanna and forest landscapes integrate with geothermal infrastructure to advance biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and energy production. A University-Assisted Community School, Health Sciences Complex, and intergenerational housing employ nested thermal zones under snow-catching timber roofscapes, bridging the University and city through spaces for care, learning, and collective gathering. This campus vision articulates a radical reciprocity between humans and ecologies towards a more regenerative future.

Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
