An event celebrating the publication of “Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape and the Postnatural”, published by Actar and edited by SoA RPI faculty Chris Perry and Cathryn Dwyre, together with Kathy Velikov (Taubbman / UofM) and David Salomon (Ithaca College). Conversation moderated by moderated by Peder Anker.

“The works in Ambiguous Territory exist in a creative space, in the moody realm of possibilities. It’s a sphere of design in which solutions (or lack thereof) have yet to settle. That should be a familiar feeling for all creative people, whose daily life may include exploring a way out of a problem without being able to nail down an exact answer. This volume belongs in that territory of ambiguity and curiosity, a place where there is room for musings, laughter, and despair. The projects convey, in different ways, a hope for a better future, but also a sense of not knowing if that future is at all possible. —Excerpt from an afterword to the book by Peder Anker, Professor, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University
