Abstract
The design-in of this chapter relates to a one-year interface design. The live, geospatial (GIS) web-based application enables environmental scientists to add, assess and analyse threat assessments to endangered species on a digital map. This requires consensual working on matters of multispecies extinction. Following a testing error involving a cartographic marker, what unfolds is an account of doing atmosphere design. I revisit the geometries of Spheres and research into recursive searching and being-in-a-design-issue.
