Design Earth: Speculative Fiction for the Climate
April 28 @ 10:00 am - June 13 @ 5:00 pm
Free Admission
Design Earth: Speculative Fiction for the Climate springs from the conviction that climate change demands urgent transformations in the ways we care for and design the Earth. DESIGN EARTH, a research practice founded and led by Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy engages the medium of the speculative architectural project to make public the climate crisis. This work is often developed simultaneously through the medium of drawing and the creation of books, two of which are excerpted and put in conversation in this art exhibition. Geostories: Another Architecture for the Environment (Actar Publishers, 2018) is a manifesto for environmental imagination in twelve architectural projects engaging the planetary scale through drawing divided by the organising principles of Aquarium, Terrarium, and Planetarium. This exhibition highlights three chapters from the larger work: After Oil, 2016, Pacific Aquarium, 2016, and Cosmorama, 2018. The Planet After Geoengineering (Actar Publishers, 2021) is a graphic novel which imagines the worlds of climate modification technologies and their controversies. Together these projects help us begin to consider and address the open question: how (else) could we tell the story of the Earth?
