Discourse and Praxis in the Climate Emergency

To scrutinize enduring material culture and practices, this course investigates seminal architectural projects, analyzing their controversy through ethical and ecological perspectives. This research becomes a vehicle to uncover ideas for developing experimental construction prototypes that aim to recalibrate design methodologies and material expression. These approaches help students explore alternative design strategies and hybrid building techniques contributing to carbon sequestration and setting visions toward new architectural forms and accountable aesthetics.
