Finalist 2 - Sustainable Architecture

Abstract

Rather than seeking to “solve” climate collapse through form and function, the studio encourages students to stay with the trouble and imagine future forms of inhabitation through “otherwises” to capital and carbon logics. These “otherwises” emerge from the present’s contested conditions, not hypothetical pacified futures. Student projects are thus spatial investigations forming an atlas of contested geographies, where precarious forms of life arise through frictions.
