CAPAS RESEARCH PROJECT - Daniel A. Barber Carbon, Comfort, and Climate: Architecture as Apocalyptic Media

This project aims to construct a concept of architecture appropriate to the challenges of climate instability. It takes said climate challenge as a cipher for an apocalypse: A social and industrial trajectory that is past the point of return, and will upend ways of life around the globe until they are unrecognizable. The project takes a stark look at the predictions of climate disruptions, and approaches the emergence of apocalyptic climate challenge from the perspective of the ongoing crisis of colonialism and settler colonialism; that is, from the perspective that a ways-of-life changing catastrophe has been occurring, unevenly across the globe, for centuries, and that pre-industrial practices and indigenous epistemologies.
