and scales.

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

from VT Honors students, Cloud 9, and collaborators representing diverse

This book arrives at a crucial moment to discuss the permeability between

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.
