Lucia Rebolino is an architect and research-based computational designer, currently working as a researcher at Forensic Architecture in London and as a teaching associate at Columbia University GSAPP. She conceives her practice as a space where different branches of science and design can conceptualize, critique, visualize, and provoke new counter-cartography aesthetics. Lucia has also worked at the Center for Spatial Research in New York, exploring investigative projects through data visualization. She has lectured at design schools, including Delft University of Technology, Architectural Association, Columbia GSAPP, and the Politecnico di Milano and Torino. Her writing has appeared in publications such as e-flux Architecture, ETH Delus, and Routledge. She holds a master of architecture from the Politecnico di Torino and a master of science in Computational Design Practices from Columbia University, where she received an award for innovative use of computing media in design research.
Kristiina Koskentola
kkoskentola@gmail.com
Kristiina Koskentola is a transdisciplinary artist, PhD. Koskentola's recent work explores processes of knowledge production, polyvocal subjectivity and the agency of multiple co-actors (human and beyond) often through intersecting material and spiritual ecologies as well as socio- and ecopolitics. Transcultural and monistic worldviews, coexistence, and human relationships with our co-beings and environments are at the core of her practice. For Koskentola, collaborative and embodied processes across epistemologies are important form of reflection. They are a tool for mediating, speculating and imagining decentered, more-than-human and dialogic perspectives among the complexities of entanglements, fragilities, and human failure unfolding between immediate, global, and cosmic processes.
