ATLANTA AFTER PROPERTY

Urban Design Studio II, Fall 2021

Faculty
Emanuel Admassu (Coordinator), Lexi Tsien, Nina Cooke John, Chat Travieso

Description
How can we disentangle urban design and architecture from property? How can we use this moment of environmental and institutional reckoning to disassemble the exploitative regimes of speculation and displacement that anchor the built environment? In other words, where do we go from here? This studio aims to identify temporal slippages and spatial practices that carve out moments of liberations from the limits of property. Studio participants developed collective intelligence, gathering samples from various cultural and political geographies, to experiment with ways of seeing beyond the privatized enclosure in the Metropolitan Atlanta region—the city and its sprawling suburbs. The aim is to design a region (with hopes of building a world) that is not tethered to individual ownership, but instead, predicated on collective stewardship and care.
