The Critical Environments Lecture Series explores the agency of design as a mode of investigation and reflexive transformation of the ever-changing interrelations between natural processes, societal practices, and (geo)political frameworks.
Through the framing of Critical Environments, this lecture series aims to emphasize both the urgency around critical environmental conditions due to the multicrises of climate change and social and ecological inequality, as well as the need for a critical approach to understanding and addressing them. The series brings together perspectives from urban and landscape theory, critical media, and design.
The first event, Critical Environments / Critical Cartographies, examines the role of representation and geovisualization; the second event, Critical Environments / More-than-human Environments, sheds light to the variegated techno-natural ecologies of urbanization and is combined with the launch of the 33rd volume of the Footprint journal, on Situating More-than-Human Ecologies of Extended Urbanization; the series culminates in a one day, end of the year symposium on Critical Environments and the Transitional Territories Graduation Studio Exhibition.
