As we enter the second decade of the 21st Century, we are challenged by unprecedented planetary scale events - resource wars, climate change, emerging diseases - which increase in frequency and pose unprecedented problems for mapping and design. What can the role be for design when the reality that faces us is more extraordinary than the worlds we have imagined in science fiction? Join Mark Wigley, dean of Columbia's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, in conversation with Joel Towers, dean of Parsons The New School for Design, as they critically question how the practice of design can imagine and prepare for extreme existential risks. Design and Existential Risk is a series of lectures exploring the ways design thinking engages sustainability and human survival now and in the future. http://designexrisk.wordpress.com
