INTERVIEW
Carbon Modernity and its relationship with architectural and urban form
Posted Monday, June 19
Confronting Carbon Form—displayed at The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of Cooper Union University—is the culmination of a five-year research on the spatial effects of the current fossil-fuel driven society. Started in 2019 when Elisa Iturbe guest-edited Log 47 Overcoming Carbon Form, the project included the panels “Confronting Carbon Form - Five Conversations on Energy, Power, Space, and Architecture” (curated in 2021 by Iturbe, Stanley Cho and Alican Taylan) to further understand the new paradigm of the relationship between architecture and carbon modernity. Throughout the exhibition—composed of ten sections—the curators carried out a consistent multiscalar study of carbon form, contributing to its definition and representation and to the advancement of Western architectural and environmental history and criticism.
Thanks to the introduction of a new analytical lens, Confronting Carbon Form, created by Iturbe, Cho and Taylan contributes to the development of new architectural histories that take into account the origins of carbon modernity and their substantial impact on the climate crisis.
