Symposium and exhibition: Critical Environments

Critical Environments aims to emphasize both the urgency around critical environmental conditions due to the multicrises of climate change and social and ecological inequality, as well as the need for a critical approach to understanding and addressing them. This half day symposium brings together diverse contributions from urban and landscape theory and design across two panels: on Collective Futures and Infrastructures with Ed Wall (Greenwich) and Stephanie Sherman (Central Saint Martins); and on Commons and more-than-city Futures with Alvaro Sevilla Buitrago  (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and Sebastien Marot (Université Paris Est). This event concludes a series of events on Critical Environments including: Critical Environments / Critical Cartographies, which examined the role of representation and geovisualization; and Critical Environments / More-than-human Environments, which shed light to the variegated techno-natural ecologies of urbanization and was combined with the launch of the 33rd volume of the Footprint journal, on Situating More-than-Human Ecologies of Extended Urbanization.

The event symposium is conceived as the spring-board for launching a research initiative on Critical Environments at TU Delft, and as the closing event of the Transitional Territories graduation studio and is accompanied by an exhibition reflecting selected student work.
