MIAD

This Wednesday 25th, at 7 p.m. CET, will do a lecture at the MIAD program of ETSALS about Design Activism: Tents, Containers, and Holes in the Ground. It’s based on her research about the UN peace missions, which operate today inside hundreds of cities across the world. Planned and engineered with the logic of security regimes, using single-purpose infrastructure, and dependent on extractive global supply chains, these ‘Islands of Blue’ generate a massive carbon footprint, profoundly impact local livelihoods, and leave mostly waste after decommissioning.

Malkit Shoshan is a researcher, author, and designer. She is the founding director of the Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory (FAST), an Amsterdam- and New York-based think-tank that develops projects at the intersection of architecture, urban planning, and human rights. She is the Area Head of the Master in Design Studies in Art, Design, and the Public Domain (ADPD) at Harvard Graduate School of Design.

During the Tectonics Logics students and tutors worked as a group, where each individual’s experience, interest and talent was enhanced to help the team achieve its common objectives. The group worked and reflect upon a wide range of architectural techniques, from digital modelling to hand sketching, and from dialogues through quick mock-ups to ultra-rigorous narrative via video essays and wriden stories.
