Coal remains a central object of rhetorical debate and one of the chief contributors to our ongoing crisis of climate, and thus demands close examination as it is consigned, sooner or later, to history. This seminar asks what architectural thought brings to such debates: What forms will that history take? Where will its archives be kept, and what goes in them? Can they illuminate for us that complex “web of exploitation” that has shaped the region for the past 150 years? How have the architectures of coal been reused, restored, or exhibited? What settlement patterns (spatially and socially) did coal engender in the 20th century, and how might we think about them in the 21st? How might atmospheric data, settler colonialism, labor struggles, geology, extractive corporate capitalism, and folk culture be read through each other? In short, what are the architectures, broadly construed, of these extractive landscapes, historically and at present?
