N2 - This article explores the productive synergies between design for climate and design for Country, and the ways that computation can contribute meaningfully. Our context is a world experiencing multiple crises (climate, biodiversity loss, equity) and a discipline (architecture) that has historically reinvented itself by embracing the transformative potential demanded (and offered) by such challenges. We frame these lesser discussed use-cases of computation via three case studies: a robotic re-enactment of place-based craft, a system of earth-cast vaults, and a pavilion constructed from minimally processed tree forks.
