the class will be asked to address a range of core questions including: What are new and emergent ways of understanding the atmospheric environment? How might this approach challenge and generate new understandings of space and conceptualizations of ‘site’? How might this work reframe a description and a making of new environments not prioritized as extensions of humans, but rather as new configurations that include, and re-value, non-human agents? How might this generate new forms of engagement in response to issues of climate change? What conceptual shifts might this propagate, and how might this approach shape new forms of design practice?
