1) “Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural; the era of climate change, the Anthropocene, and altered ecologies…. Ambiguous Territory presents design ideas and proposals from architects, artists, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety. Organized by Kathy Velikov, Cathryn Dwyre, David Salomon, and Chris Perry.” 2) Theater of Lost Species, Future Cities Lab 3) Inside Things, project team: Stefan Klecheski, Alan Lucey, Yingjing Ma, Tafhim Rahman, Di Yang. “The project explores architectural interiority borne from agglomeration and exaggeration. Here, the ambiguity of formal resemblance mixes with the obscure, heterogeneous materiality to produce architectural things that invite misreading and are open to interpretation but never land on intended meaning.”
