Made Up Exhibition Poster | Art Center College of Design
AGENCY presents Super Levee Urban Farm at MADE UP | Design’s Fictions, an exhibit at Art Center College of Design. The exhibition is part of a two-month long exhibition and speaker series dedicated to exploring emergent themes in architectural practice.
A description of the exhibition from the event organizers:
To design anything, it is necessary to first imagine an audience, a site, a purpose, or even a world. It has to be made up. MADE UP: Design’s Fictions presents the work of major and emerging international practices that forecast, hypothesize, muse, skylark, role-play, put-on-airs, freak-out or otherwise fake-it to produce work that is relevant to our increasingly confusing and accelerated world.As part of this groundbreaking exhibition, AGENCY will display their speculative design research project entitledSuper Levee Urban Farm. To safeguard against future disaster from rising sea levels, the world’s cities must invest heavily in new forms of infrastructural development. Super Levee Urban Farm capitalizes on the need for urban improvement, expanding the necessary infrastructural and environmental interventions to propose a more productive urban and personal life. The project proposes a global system of levees, serving as a new brand of urban farms at the city’s edge, preserving local ecologies while protecting cities from emerging dangers.
