The pilot issue of the new annual publication DELUS offers a range of diverse insights into landscape and urban questions. Founded in 2022 by the Institute for Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS) at ETH Zurich, it introduces new methods to unpack multiple worlds and narrate manifold stories. The contributions range from unraveling histories of land– body relations through recipes with Luiza Prado de O. Martins, following living fossils and their mythical counterparts with Christina Gruber, working with communities to examine extractive environments with Karin Reisinger, exploring postnatural aesthetics with the Institute for Postnatural Studies, to recording wastelands with Sandra Jasper and developing speculative curricula engaging with overlooked forms of knowledge alongside Federico Pérez Villoro. As a collection, these contributions address the complex relations between humans, non-humans and their environment across time and space. RIOT—Research and Innovation On Territory—is a laboratory engaged in pedagogy and research within the Institute of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), lead by architect and urban designer CHARLOTTE MALTERRE-BARTHES. Believing that the construction sector and design disciplines must pivot and wholeheartedly engage in the current social and climatic urgencies by rewiring themselves to face and repair the harm, RIOT utilizes tactics and strategies to decarbonize, decolonize, and depatriarchalize space production—by design.weiterlesen
