Waste[ED]: Producing with Waste

WAST[ED]: Producing with Waste is co-hosted by Center for Architecture, AIANY Committee on the Environment, Pratt GALAUD, NYU, and SOM, examining issues of how to deal with the current state of our environment by living and working, nearby and on top of waste. Using student proposals for food compost facility, greenhouses and food market within a dense urban environment along the rapidly developing East River Corridor as a launching point, the discussion brings together a panel of esteemed architects and thinkers who will offer provocative and counterintuitive perspectives on climate change and its impact.
