For participants on CoDeCo’s recent Field Trip to the Matter Design studio at the MIT Met Warehouse in Cambridge, time stood still. From ancient stone to speculative futures, our visit explored gravity, time, and circularity through the work of Brandon Clifford Brandon Clifford, Jo Lobdell Jo Lobdell , and MIT’s Architecture Program MIT Architecture.

Yesterday, CoDeCo visited MIT for an inspiring studio visit with Matter Design inside the newly renovated MET Warehouse building. Big thanks to Brandon Clifford Brandon Clifford and Jo Lobdell Jo Lobdell for opening their space and sharing their work, and to Misstropolis Misstropolis ✨championing ideas in contemporary art for curating this special experience for the CoDeCo community!

Matter Design is rethinking the built environment by looking to enduring historical practices. From prototyping how a single person can move multi-ton objects to recasting cement and designing for reassembly, their work challenges modern construction assumptions.

What becomes possible when we stop assuming humanity is at the peak of its knowledge—and instead embrace how much we stand to gain by reconnecting design and construction?
