This book presents a series of pedagogical experiments translating climate science, environmental humanities, material research, ecological practices into the architectural curriculum.

Balancing the science and humanities, it exposes recent pedagogical experiments from renown educators, while also interrogating a designer's agency between science and speculation in the face of climate uncertainty. The teaching experiments are presented across four sections: Abstraction, Organization, Building, and Narrative, exposing core parts of an architect's education and how educators can simultaneously provide fundamental skills and constructive literacy while instigating environmental sensibilities. Chapters cover issues such as an unstable hydrosphere, water infrastructure, remediating materials, methods of disassembly and adaptive reuse, as well as constructing new aesthetic categories of climate change, and implementing oral histories of construction, among many others.

Written and edited by expert design educators actively engaged in experimenting in new forms of pedagogy, this book will be of great use to architecture instructors at all levels looking to renew their teaching practices to more directly address the climate emergency. It will also appeal to those academics across the built environment interested in the ways design can affect and adapt to climate change.

Tulay Atak is an architect and an architectural historian. Her work focuses on questions of modern urbanism in a global context. She received her Bachelor's degree at METU in Ankara, Turkey and pursued her PhD at UCLA with the dissertation, "Byzantine Modern: Displacements of Modernism in Istanbul." In addition to her dissertation, she pursued research in India and Switzerland. She conducted fieldwork in Chandigarh as part of the Getty Research Institute's project on Museology and the Colony. Recently, she worked as part of a team of scholars archiving the work of the structural engineer Heinz Isler for the ETH in Zurich. Tulay's scholarship has appeared in journals and edited volumes such as OASE, Future Anterior, PMLA, JAE, JSAH, Invention d'une Architecte, Construction Savante and Fragile City. She has taught at SCI-Arc, Cornell, RISD, Cooper Union, RPI and Pratt Institute, and has held a guest professorship in architectural theory at the Angewandte in Vienna.

Jonathan A. Scelsa is an Associate Professor of Architecture at Pratt Institute and he is a founding partner of the New York based practice, OP - Architecture Landscape. Jonathan's research explores the geometric legacy of optical mechanics, the contemporary robotic production of component-based construction, and the reorganization of the city around visible micro infrastructural elements. Jonathan's design work has been supported by several institutions including the American Academy in Rome, the New York State Council of the Arts (NYSCA); the Architectural League of New York; and the Department of State's Fulbright Program. As an educator, Jonathan has taught widely including Masters design studios and seminars in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, the Rhode Island School of Design, Northeastern University, Parsons School of Design, the Boston Architectural College, City College of New York and the Harvard GSD.
