GSD 5389: Integrated Design and Planning for Climate Change
Troy Conrad Therrien
Curator of Architecture and Digital Initiatives at the Guggenheim Museum
The present architectural discourse about climate change predominantly focuses
on solutions, adaptations, regulations, and other approaches for changing course.
And, of course, it does — but, architecture can also tell us about our
climate past.
This lecture incorporates new discoveries ranging from paleoanthropology to the
science of psychedelics, scriptural exegesis to chaos magic, to speculate
an origin story for architecture that can be used to think through our climate future. |
