//ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Through design projects, drawings, essays, and conversations, the concept of ‘indoor urbanism’ has informed MODU Architecture‘s work. They call for a shift in environmental thinking, designing for exchanges between architecture and the city that are both outside-in and inside-out.
Using their book, Field Guide to Indoor Urbanism (Hatje Cantz, 2023), as a framework for the conversation, Phu Hoang will focus on examples of installation and public art projects and how they inform MODU’s architectural and design practice. Hoang will also speak about MODU’s affordable housing work and what it means to densify building stock to slow down gentrification.
By recontextualizing the notion of urbanism in their practice, MODU raises an essential, and in Miami’s context, existential question: In the face of the climate crisis, what is architecture’s capacity to change?
This conversation is a continuation of a series presented in partnership with University of Miami’s School of Architecture and coincides with the completion of the first phase of Bakehouse’s building renovation and future campus expansion.
