DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Climate change establishes humans as a disruptive 
 geological force and reminds us of collective vulnerability\, responsibili
 ty and uncertainty. Science and policy debates have tended to overshadow a
 ccounts that address the historical\, philosophical and ethical dimensions
  of living with environmental change. However\, with our accidental advanc
 e into the Anthropocene epoch\, architects are challenged to re-define how
  we design\, build and maintain enduring cities\, structures and communiti
 es on the Earth’s surface. The seminar will present current work on reth
 inking architecture as a provisional practice funded by the British Academ
 y. \n\n*Biography:* Dr Renata Tyszczuk is Senior Lecturer in Architecture 
 at the University of Sheffield and a founding member of the Agency Researc
 h Centre. Her research explores global environmental change and provisiona
 lity in architectural thinking and practice. She is the co-editor of Atlas
 : Geography\, Architecture and Change in an Interdependent World (Black Do
 g 2012)\; Agency: Working with Uncertain Architectures (Routledge\, 2009)\
 ; and the co- founding editor of field: journal of architecture. She is a 
 British Academy Mid-Career Fellow and also a Visiting Scholar at the Depar
 tment of Architecture\, University of Cambridge (2013-2014).
