Planetary Media
This Representation seminar is a deliberate and focused space for conceptualizing, making, and producing a large-scale digital-physical architectural drawing about the space 1 kilometer above and below the ground. Heeding Bruno Latour’s call to bring climate change politics “down to earth,” we will attend to this “critical zone” by conducting environmental research on various thematic layers: geo, hydro, bio, atmo. In groups pertaining to these themes, students will collectively develop “deep sections” of a material or site, drawing together space, material, environment, and history into a single drawing/model space to be test-projected at the Movement Lab at Barnard College.
This seminar is for students seeking intellectual and creative exchange surrounding architectural representation in a time of planetary crisis. Considering drawings and models as planetary records, we will explore how the precision (and subversion) of the architectural section across various temporalities might offer critical new ways of reading the planet.
The course will immerse students in Blender animation techniques, architectural drawing composition, timeline editing, and hands-on media testing workshops in collaboration with the Movement Lab. The course also introduces key readings and creative projects as a shared conceptual basis for planetary media. Students are expected to weave both theory and practice together, and will come away with understandings of how the environment might be conceptualized as and through media.
