Advanced Topics Studio
(Mixed graduate and Undergraduate)
This studio investigates the material, environmental, and social intersections between waste, labor, and the built environment. With a focus on building and urban waste, salvage, reuse, recycling, and regeneration, we will think and work towards just industrial futures in Sunset Park, New York City, amid the climate crisis and cultures of consumption.
We will engage with the RISD Nature Lab this semester for various material ‘cooking’ experiments. Taking resourcefulness as an ethos, the studio expects students to get creative with sourcing, recipes, and low-footprint approaches to model making.
