Wesleyan’s College of Design and Engineering Studies (CoDES) presents a lecture by Joyce Hsiang, Assistant Professor, Yale School of Architecture.

Joyce Hsiang is an architect, urbanist and an assistant professor at Yale School of Architecture. She co-founded Plan B Architecture & Urbanism to anticipate and rehearse new relationships between humans and the earth. She uses architectural methods and cartographic analysis to make worlds that reveal and reflect on the ways humans have urbanized the planet and explore the possibilities of design at the planetary scale. Projects range from installations and buildings to landscapes, urban plans and global models of urbanization. She has exhibited worldwide including the Venice Biennale (2021 and 2025), Lisbon Triennial, Istanbul Biennial, and Hong Kong Shenzhen Biennale as well as in Switzerland, Iceland, Abu Dhabi and at universities including Yale, Princeton and Arkansas. Awards include support from Yale Planetary Solutions, the AIA Latrobe Prize, the Graham Foundation, a Macdowell Fellowship, Hines Research Grant for Advanced Sustainability, MacMillan Center, the Franke Program in Science and Humanities as well as the inaugural Miller Prize from Exhibit Columbus.
