Contemporary ways of living are often built with hostility toward wildlife. Neighboring fauna are considered pests and nuisances to be kept away from human habitation. This contributes to human-wildlife conflict, a global issue recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme. While some wildlife poses legitimate threats to human livelihoods, architecture, in its conception, should encourage peaceful coexistence to the maximum extent possible. Above the Grass, therefore, explores raised foundations as a demonstrated strategy for creating favorable conditions for urban wildlife to occupy the space beneath human habitation, allowing wildlife to inhabit and potentially reproduce away from residential interiors, as is commonly the case with attic spaces.
