Concordia University – Designing Through Land

How can the design disciplines and their allied practices become more attuned to land? Propositions: Designing through Land brings together nine researchers who are embarking on an eighteen-month collective research project, In the Hurricane, On the Land, with funding from the Mellon Foundation and convened by the CCA, to chart land dependent-design as a mode of collective action that can address the current material manifestations of the climate crisis; Indigenous land revitalization; and adjacent concerns related to crafting methods to document and engage with land-driven sites, histories, and communities. Through these lines of research and questioning, the nine researchers will probe and redraw the social and professional boundaries of architecture and landscape architecture to advance a shared method for navigating the aftermaths of un/natural disasters.

This event is free and open to the public.
