Next Week: A Field Guide to the Future
Come join us for a discussion with the curators of the current exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art on October 25th, 6:30pm, at Head Hi Bookstore in Brooklyn
“Twentieth-century American environmental architecture, therefore, is a remedial project—an attempt to reassemble a sustainable, mutually supportive relationship between humans and their surroundings…Environmental architecture as described by Emerging Ecologies is a field in formation—the contours of its history only now starting to take shape as its milestones and protagonists come into focus. This book, then, is a guide to a field in the making.”
— Carson Chan
If environmental architecture is the discipline’s future, what was its past?
That is the question addressed by the current exhibition, Emerging Ecologies, at the Museum of Modern Art. Join curator and author Carson Chan and co-author Matthew Wagstaffe for the launch of the exhibition’s accompanying book, Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism. They will be joining members of New York Review of Architecture at Head Hi Bookstore next Wednesday, October 25 at 6:30pm, for a discussion on architecture’s ecological histories, presents, and possible futures.
