Confronting Carbon Form: The Unknown

Climate breakdown demands new ways of building, designing, and living together, yet architecture continues to work within the logic of carbon modernity. Confronting Carbon Form is an event series curated and moderated by Stanley Cho, Elisa Iturbe, and Alican Taylan that builds on the themes of Log 47: Overcoming Carbon Form. The series brings together architects, historians, theorists, and scholars to confront the spatial expression of our fossil fuel paradigm – carbon form – in order to find a new way forward.

Join the final event in the Confronting Carbon Form series, in which all participants from the previous events will collectively pick up loose threads, triangulate across their different topics, and attempt to create a clearer picture of what carbon form is and what it means to confront it.
