DESIGN EARTH, a collaborative practice led by El Hadi Jazairy and Rania Ghosn, engages with geography to open up a range of aesthetic and political concerns for architecture and urbanism. Through speculative drawings, they tackle big-picture issues and imagine new possibilities and paradigms. 

Rania Ghosn performs a reading of the studio’s graphic novel, The Planet after Geoengineering, a companion to their eponymous project curated by Hashim Sarkis and exhibited at the 2021 Venice Biennale of Architecture. The novel makes climate engineering and its controversies visible in a series of five stories, collectively assembled into a planetary section from the deep underground to outer space, seeking to understand pressing issues during this time of climate crisis.
