DESIGN EARTH is a research practice that deploys the speculative project — drawing and narrative — to make public the climate crisis. DESIGN EARTH has received numerous awards including the United States Artist Fellowship, the Prize for Young Architects + Designers by the Architectural League, Jacques Rougerie Foundation Award and ACSA Faculty Design Awards. Their work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Triennale Milano, Matadero Madrid, the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, Oslo Architecture Triennale, Sursock Museum in Beirut and Times Museum in Guangzhou; and is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Their recent projects include “Climate Inheritance” at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau and “The Planet After Geoengineering” at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
