O(U)R Experience

Join us for a reception to celebrate the opening of (OUR) Experience, featuring the work of the Office of (Un)certainty Research, a speculative futures practice responding to the climate crisis through a transdisciplinary imagination that seeks to connect the sciences and humanities to the disciplines of the built environment.

Explore six projects:

· Cenotaph for Niels Bohr (based on quantum entanglement)

· 1x1 Land Acknowledgement Design Challenge that seeks to extend this issue into design and property ownership

· D.I.A.N.A [Designing Insidious Alternative Architecture], a digital data virus critique of AI in the form of a mockumentary

· A House Deconstructed documents the ultimate source of the materials and processes of a recent house built in Seattle

· Tirtha: A Human Body Composting Temple develops new rituals and practices for the now legal practice in WA of composting human remains

· Kishkindha NY, a multi-species city imagined as an inhabited forest building on a city concept found in the Hindu epic The Ramayana.

Professors Vikramaditya Prakash (University of Washington, Architecture) and Mark M. Jarzombek (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, History Theory + Criticism) are the co-design leads.
