It provided its participants with a space and a series of field trips to speculate on urban and material futures and imagine radically new forms of inderdisciplinarity. Given the recent news of Miami's precarious fate as well as that of other coastal cities and islands, the discussions that took place seemed especially apt.

Given the urgency of collective response, the organizers of the Swamp School, Gediminas Urbonas and Nomeda Urbonas, intended to inspire a single question among its participants: "how can we co-live with the swamp?"
