About

Rania Ghosn, Associate Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at MIT, is the founding director, with El Hadi Jazairy, of DESIGN EARTH. Her research and creative practice explore the architectural project as a medium to make public the climate crisis—to chart how urban technological systems have transformed the earth and to imagine ways of living with such legacy geographies on a damaged planet. Towards that, her design research methodology draws together environmental history, spatial representation across scales, speculative design in various media assemblies—publication, exhibition, and animation.
