Abstract
There is broad scientific consensus that decarbonization alone is not enough to avoid the most catastrophic effects of anthropogenic climate change. In response, designers are increasingly exploring techniques of carbon dioxide removal (CDR). These emerging technologies and land-use strategies provide novel entry points for architects and landscape architects to confront the climate emergency. However, design discourse surrounding CDR often relies on reductive (and hence depoliticizing) understandings of carbon. Taking Canada’s grasslands—the Land of the Living Skies—as a geographical point of departure, this essay documents a pedagogical experiment to query design’s evolving relationship with carbon.
