This past Sunday marked the end of RVTR's month long exhibition at the Taubman Liberty Gallery, Infra Eco Logi Urbanism.
Infra Eco Logi Urbanism was a project, exhibition and forthcoming publication by RVTR, a research-based design practice founded by U-M Taubman College architecture associate professor Geoffrey Thün and assistant professor Kathy Velikov, and Ryerson University architecture chair Colin Ripley. The exhibition was previously on display at Yale University.
The exhibition posited an approach and a vision for architecture at the urban scale within the contemporary post-metropolitan condition. The project assembled a multi-year investigation that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion of North America, and developed a design proposition to leverage energy and mobility infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends, addressing questions of politics and urban society.
The exhibition was organized as a territory, gathering a diverse body of work including regional cartographies, network analyses, historical research, writings, photographs, design drawings and physical models. In aggregate, it presented a position from which to apprehend urban questions, a vision, a design methodology that operates across scales from the regional to the specific, and an event around which to discuss regional systems and the role of design in figuring their futures.
