"Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy think big?very big. The duo, who together form the studio Design Earth, create drawings that explore our ecological impact at the macro scale. Their new book, Geostories, showcases multiple drawing series on this theme. For example, one series depicts how humanity might adapt to an atmosphere-less Earth, while another details a real proposal that would use Antarctic icebergs to the supply the Middle East with water. Ghosn and Jazairy, who were tapped to participate in the U.S. Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale of Architecture, approach their sometimes grim scenarios with a sense of humor: Superstudio's Continuous Monument, Tatlin's Tower, and Bucky's Dome, among others, make cameos. It's slightly disappointing, however, that Geostories mostly reproduces Design Earth's color drawings in black-and-white." --Metropolis Magazine
