The Cross Connections 2024 International Exhibition and Competition of Visual Communication Design and Emerging Media Design is a global event that showcases the creative works of students and faculty from over ten higher education institutions worldwide.
Bringing together architects, landscape architects, theorists, activists/organizers, artists, and students across a series of panels, dinners, workshops, and screenings hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Viewsheds will be presented in conjunction with the Site Unseen exhibition and the “territorial” scale studio in SARUP’s new core studio sequence, framing the importance of new, speculative aesthetics within emerging pedagogies and practices, particularly as architecture schools around North America increasingly contend with the climate crisis within their curricula.
