Superstudio Showcase: Reflections on a Year-Long Open Call

"The Green New Deal Superstudio was a concerted effort to give form to policy ideas by translating the core goals of decarbonization, justice, and jobs into place-specific design and planning projects. Some 670 projects were submitted through the year-long open call, which attracted the participation of over 90 universities, as well as hundreds of practitioners from across the design disciplines.

In this virtual event, four of those tasked with reviewing and curating the submissions will critically reflect on the body of work, highlight key themes, and show representative examples from the submitted projects. How did the submissions address issues facing their regions? What were the key strategies and ideas? What does this work say about the ability and readiness of the built environment design disciplines to make large-scale change?" (Landscape Architecture Foundation)
