DESCRIPTION:Victoria Nguyen\, Mellon postdoctoral fellow candidate\, will g
 ive a lecture\, ‘‘Designing Sustainability: Containment\, Circulation\
 , and Contingency in Beijing.’’ This lecture investigates the lived an
 d imagined effects of urbanization without limits at precisely the moment 
 when amplifying visions of ecological precarity are dominating debates in 
 the earth sciences.\n\nIn the context of China’s unprecedented mass urba
 nization program\, it interrogates the logics of sustainable design that a
 nimate urban development in China today. Thinking across the vital interco
 nnections of air\, water\, and land in the life of the city\, I examine ho
 w China’s recent Sponge City Initiative mobilizes the closed world logic
 s of sustainability discourse to address the challenges of urban water man
 agement\, asking after the excesses and contingencies that might exceed an
 d escape such paradigms.
