MAKE YOURSELF UNCOMFORTABLE | DANIEL BARBER

In conjunction with our current exhibition, The Nature of Art, and its themes, join scholar Dr. Daniel A. Barber as he discusses ecology in non-modernist cultures, tropical modernism, new narratives of ecological thinking, designing for discomfort, and architecture as the mediation between the infrastructural and the personal.

Daniel is increasingly focused on amplifying the climate-relevant work of scholars and practitioners and developing concepts and frameworks for architects, policymakers, developers, and others to engage in the climate emergency. He is co-founder of Current: Collective on Environment and Architectural History; co-editor of the annual Accumulation series on e-flux Architecture; and co-editor of a special issue of Future Anterior focused on preservation and retrofit; and a member of the Cohabitations editorial collective supporting interdisciplinary and multi-sited research on climate, displacement, and design.
