Geostories' is a manifesto on the environmental imagination presented in architectural projects that engage the planetary scale with a commitment to drawing as medium. In 12 geographic fictions, the book invites critical and speculative engagements of humanity?s relations to Earth and technology. How do we make sense of the Earth at a moment in which it is presented in crisis? To live in an epoch that is shaped by extensive environmental transformations is to be confronted with risks and uncertainties at a planetary scale. Paradoxically, we remain little mobilized, in part because of our failures to comprehend the reach of a story that is both difficult to tell and hear. 'Geostories' responds to the environmental crisis not only as a crisis of the physical environment but also as a crisis of the cultural environment. This book won a Graham Foundation Grant.
