The World Around returns to the Guggenheim on February 5 for its annual summit. Engage with contemporary architecture and design’s now, near, and next as international participants speak to their recent and ongoing projects in the field of spatial and environmental practice. The program will be a mixture of prerecorded content and live presentations, and feature projects that examine cutting-edge ideas, critical thinking, and visionary new work, technology, and research. Expect to hear about internationally pressing issues including climate change, radical approaches to preservation, digital strategies to address homelessness, the growing international movement of geo-design, as well as some extraordinary new structures, films, books, and research projects. The exciting lineup of world renowned participants includes architects Tadao Ando, MVRDV, David Chipperfield, Open Architecture, and Ooze; author Amitav Ghosh; filmmaker Matthew Heineman; artists Amie Siegel, Ursula Biemann, Himali Singh Soin, and Sebstián López Brach; designers, educators and researchers Lesley Lokko, Formafantasma, DAAR (Decolonizing Architecture Art Research), Monument Lab, Chris Hildrey, Top Manta, Design Earth, Limbo Accra, Miriam Hillawi Abraham, Camila Marambio, Lucia Pietroiusti, and Paulo Tavares. The World Around Summit 2022 is co-presented by The World Around, Guggenheim Museum and Het Nieuwe Instituut.
