The Weathering Body explores our relationship with the lived environment. A grotto located in Central Park is embedded within its sloped landscape, inviting rainwater, leaves, and other organisms inwards. The project is recoated white every year, challenging the concept of white purity by offering a canvas to nature. The Weathering Body ultimately means to reframe architecture as an ongoing partnership between human intention and environmental agency, where permanence gives way to cyclical renewal and weathering itself becomes the work of architecture.

THE HIVE — ARCHITECTURE AS DISASSEMBLY Architecture is not a finished object. It is a system in continuous transformation. The Hive imagines an adaptive framework for a new generation of digital citizens. It transforms an obsolete department store into a reconfigurable system of modular pods, platforms, and shared infrastructure, and is designed to be assembled, disassembled, reused, and adapted over time. — With special thanks to @slon1slon of @kosmos_architects for the guidance, challenges, and encouragement throughout the semester.

Re-Stacking Landscapes Twenty-five years after MVRDV’s Dutch Pavilion for Expo 2000, this project reimagines the pavilion for a world where landscapes are increasingly experienced through media. Today, landscapes are photographed, scanned, modelled, streamed and monitored. Images no longer simply represent nature—they actively shape how landscapes are accessed, understood and transformed. The pavilion is reimagined as seven operational landscapes, each exploring a different relationship between media, technology and ecology. While preserving the original vertical structure, the project replaces its closed ecosystem with a landscape where physical environments, digital media, data and non-human actors continuously interact. Rather than separating technology from nature, RE-STACKING LANDSCAPES asks how architecture can respond to a world where every act of seeing and representing landscape also participates in remaking it.

Deborah Lopez & Hadin Charbel, co-founders of Pareid will deliver the lecture “Climate F(r)ictions” for AAD Arguments on July 15th, 2026. Deborah Lopez and Hadin Charbel are founders of Pareid, an interdisciplinary design and research studio whose work adopts approaches from various fields and contexts addressing topics related to climate, ecology, policy and storytelling through what they refer to as “Alternate Endings”. They are both Associate Professors at the Bartlett School of Architecture where their pedagogical interests focus on themes of ‘cli-migration’ and ‘autonomous ecologies’ at local and planetary scales. Using climate fiction as a vehicle, speculations are put forward through research-grounded narratives combining computational design, digital technologies, film and video games. Their work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, the Tallinn Biennale, the Seoul Biennale, the Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam, the Design Museum London, and others. They are the co-editors of “Monumental Wastelands”, a two-volume augmented and bi-lingual book exploring themes of Autonomy and Logistics, and guest editors for Materia Arquitectura Vol. 28 titled “Press Play”, exploring how architecture is being reshaped by play, simulation, and digital ecologies. Introduction and response by Beril Sarisakal Erkent, Uriel Fogué, & AAD Students @pareid.architecture @deborahlopezlobato @hadincharbel @berilsarisakal @urielfogue @gsapp_aad

Mpho Matsipa will deliver the lecture “Black Counter-Cartographies As Architecture Mixed Tape” for AAD Arguments on July 8, 2026. Mpho Matsipa is a South African-born design researcher, curator and urban theorist rooted in African design thinking across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean worlds. She practices curating as a form of public scholarship that explores African cities and diasporic creative practices as generative epistemological frameworks in architecture and urbanism. She is an Associate Professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London where she also serves as Co-Director of Spatial Justice. Mpho is a Loeb Fellow 2022 (Harvard Graduate School of Design), Prince Claus, Building Beyond Senior Fellow (2026) and she holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley. She has curated several exhibitions, discursive platforms and experimental architectural research platforms. She is working on an Architecture Mixed Tape in collaboration with Chimurenga, for which she divides her time between Johannesburg, London, Lagos and New York.
