Down to Earth: Land-Based Pedagogy Through the Geopoetics of Earthen Construction

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Jeremy Magner

In resistance to the prevailing geopolitical logic of accumulation and dispossession, we may find new methods for teaching and building through a speculative geopoetics1 as “a regime for producing subjects and negotiating properties of belonging”2. Thus was born the intention for a seminar conducted during the fall of 2022 within the University of Tennessee Knoxville College of Architecture and Design. The course combined experiential, action-oriented pedagogy with particular sensitivity to the unique complexities of the cultural and ecological entanglements which define place in an effort to offer students a new way to find meaning and belonging through spirited collaboration and social acts of craft.
