𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝: 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 springs from the conviction that climate change demands urgent transformations in the ways we care for and design the Earth. 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛 (@_designearth), a research practice founded and led by 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗻 and 𝗘𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗱𝗶 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 engages the medium of the speculative architectural project to make public the climate crisis. This work is often developed simultaneously through the medium of drawing and the creation of books, two of which are excerpted and put in conversation in this art exhibition. 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨: 𝘼𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 (Actar Publishers, 2018) is a manifesto for environmental imagination in twelve architectural projects engaging the planetary scale through drawing divided by the organising principles of Aquarium, Terrarium, and Planetarium. This exhibition highlights three chapters from the larger work: 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙊𝙞𝙡, 2016, 𝙋𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝘼𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙪𝙢, 2016, and 𝘾𝙤𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙖, 2018. The 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙩 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 (Actar Publishers, 2021) is a graphic novel which imagines the worlds of climate modification technologies and their controversies. Together these projects help us begin to consider and address the open question: how (else) could we tell the story of the Earth? Curated by 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗚 𝗢𝗲𝗻. 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝: 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 is co-organised by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art and ADM Gallery OPENING RECEPTION Friday, 25 April 2025 6:30 - 8:30 pm VENUE ADM Gallery 2 NTU School of Art, Design and Media 81 Nanyang Dr, Singapore 637458 DATES 28 April to 13 June 2025 Open by appointment from 14 June to 15 August 2025 GALLERY HOURS Monday to Friday: 10:00am to 5:00pm Saturday: By appointment only Closed on Sunday and Public Holidays To make an appointment, kindly email: ADMgallery@ntu.edu.sg More info link in bio.

Another full conversation from the pages of Issue Five—“Worlding Anew: Rania Ghosn (@_rghosn) and Leen Katrib (@leenkatrib) on Drawing Together Climate and Heritage”—is now available to read on deemjournal.com. Centering their discussion around @_designearth’s newest book, “Climate Inheritance”—a speculative design research publication that reckons with the complexity of world and heritage in the Anthropocene—Ghosn and Katrib consider the concepts of heritage & inheritance in the face of a such unstable futures, sites of cultural importance as opportunities for alternative storytelling, and futuring as an ethical responsibility. Rania Ghosn is Associate Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founding partner, with El Hadi Jazairy, of DESIGN EARTH. Their design research practice employs the speculative architecture project as a medium to make visible and public the climate crisis. They are authors of Geostories: Another Architecture for the Environment (3rd ed. 2022; 2018), Geographies of Trash (2015), The Planet After Geoengineering (2021), and Climate Inheritance (2023). Ghosn is recipient of the United States Artist Fellowship, the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers, the Boghossian Foundation Prize, and ACSA Faculty Design Awards. Leen Katrib is Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Kentucky. Her work investigates architecture’s materiality and historiography and designs new frameworks for marginalized histories and material culture. It has been supported by Art Omi, MacDowell/NEA, Harry der Boghosian, and P.D. Soros fellowships, and Howard Crosby Butler, William & Neoma Timme, and George H. Mayr travel grants; published in Future Anterior, Pidgin, Room One Thousand, and Bracket; exhibited at Lexington Art League, Syracuse University, Van Der Plas Gallery, the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, and A+D Museum.

We are deeply honored to be featured by our admired Rania Ghosn @_rghosn in her article ‘Geodesign, or, It Matters What Earths Make Worlds’. She includes “Teatro Della Terra Alienata”, Australian pavilion at the XXII @triennalemilano (awarded with the Golden Bee to the best international contribution) as a project of radical political imagination, together with the works of @waithinktank and @formafantasma . The piece has been published in the issue Log60 @log_grams edited by Brittany Utting and Albert Pope @pope_70198 under the title ‘The Sixth Sphere’. Log60 explores the technosphere as “a planetary enmeshment of bodies, environments, and technologies” by examining the Earth’s natural spheres through the lenses of architecture, science, and philosophy. Rania’s article delves into the idea of ‘Geodesign’ and presents “a constellation of earth- thinking and earth-making design practices – critical, decolonial, feminist, and speculative (many of whom would not identify as geodesigners) – whose works do not aim to simulate or SketchUp the future from today’s data models, but to world through the cracks of the present crisis the possibilities for another world.” Thank you, @_rghosn @_designearth for your generosity and sharpness. “Teatro Della Terra Alienata: Re-imagining the fate of the Great Barrier Reef” is a project done by @grandeza.studio (@amaia.sanchezvelasco @jorge.valiente.oriol @gonz_valienteoriol) in collaboration with Miguel Rodriguez Casellas and brings together contributions from artists @shoufay @janetlaurence @liam_benson @cigsunmoon @a.m._patricia @madisonbycroft as well as students and academics from @utsarchitecture with @charles_curtin @zharrisson @fra__cappa. The pavilion was acquired by @ngvmelbourne for its permanent collection of contemporary design and architecture. To know more about the project you can check the homonymous book that we published with @bartlebooth_ in 2022.

🐻‍❄️ / A R C T I C A L B E D O / [unbuilt project] The Planet After Geoengineering by @_designearth . 1 - Rewilding the Arctic is promised to slow the climate crisis. Herds of large herbivores—horses and bison—are released onto the tundra to create vast grasslands. . 2 - The Alaska-based HAARP transmitter facility harvests methane emissions into a giant snow globe. An array of antennas sends high-energy beams to ionize methane into pure carbon and hydrogen. The energy intensive turbines are powered by natural gas drawn from the North Slope Petroleum Reserve. . 3 - Extreme wildfires blaze across the old-growth boreal forests releasing carbon stored in trees and peatland into carbon dioxide and other potent greenhouse gases emissions. "The Word for World is (Forever) Forest". . 4 - Permafrost thaw releases hundreds of millions of years of buried carbon into the atmosphere. To restore the Earth's white pole, seawater is pumped onto floating dome structures creating artificial glaciers, powered by floating nuclear plants. . TAG @c_a_g_e in your work, the best will be published on the page.

Geostories: Another Architecture for the Environment • How do we make sense of the #Earth at a moment in which it is presented in crisis? #Geostories is a manifesto on the #environmental imagination that renders sensible the issues of climate change and through #geographic fiction invites readers to relate to the complexity of Earth systems in their vast scales of time and space. • The #book is organized into three sections– terrarium, aquarium, planetarium, each of which revisits such devices of wonder that assemble publics around representations of the Earth. • The series of #architectural projects becomes a medium to synthesize different forms and scales of knowledge on #technological externalities, such as oil extraction, deep-sea mining, ocean acidification, water shortage, air pollution, trash, space debris, and a host of other social-ecological issues. • Through #designresearch, Geostories brings together spatial history, geographic representation, projective design, and material public assemblies to speculate on ways of living with such legacy technologies on the planet. • Written by Rania Ghosn & El Hadi Jazairy / DESIGN EARTH @_designearth • ACTAR.COM https://actar.com/product/geostories_republished/ • #architecture #architecturebook #designearth #actarpublishers #architectureandenvironment

Climate Inheritance • Climate Inheritance is a speculative #designresearch publication that reckons with the complexity of world and #heritage in the #Anthropocene. • The impacts of #climate change on heritage sites—from #Venice flooding to extinction in the Galápagos Islands—have garnered empathetic media attention in a landscape that has otherwise failed to communicate the urgency of the climate crisis. • In a strategic subversion of the media aura of #heritage, DESIGN EARTH casts ten World Heritage sites as narrative figures to visualize pervasive climate risks—rising sea levels, #extinction, #droughts, air #pollution, melting glaciers, material vulnerability, unchecked #tourism, and the massive displacement of communities and cultural artifacts—all while situating the present emergency within the wreckages of other ends of world, replete with the salvages of #extractivism, #racism, and settler #colonialism. • The possibilities of such climate inheritances are narrated in drawing triptychs and #mythologies that bequeath other worlds and values. • Review on A Weekly Dose of Architecture Book, written by John Hill @therealarchidose, editor-in-chief of the World-Architects Magazine. 🔗 https://archidose.blogspot.com/2023/10/visualizing-world-visualizing-change.html • Written by Rania Ghosn @_rghosn & El Hadi Jazairy / DESIGN EARTH @_designearth • ACTAR.COM https://actar.com/product/climate-inheritance/ • #veniceflooding #climatechange #climateemergency #architectureandenvironment #worldheritage #architecture #climateinheritance #designearth
