Abstract
The Core Studio reflects on how to move toward a “post-extractive” transcalar design approach, framed by ecological, social, political, and economic dimensions, deployed in real territories. It explores diverse spatial conditions to reflect on how built and unbuilt environments are produced and managed, and to seek ways to design interventions to inhabit the world in a truly sustainable way.
Objective
Building knowledge and proposing alternative futures with students beyond the problem-solving approach, the Core Studio will allow us to systematically analyze and practice the set of “paradigm shifts” required by design for ecological and social transition toward post-extractive futures that accommodate various practices of mobility, conservation, repair, regeneration, transformation, production, and maintenance.
Content
Weekly design studio, feedback sessions, critics.
