Rania Ghosn is an associate professor of architecture and urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she is director of the Master of Science in Architecture Studies (SMArchS) in Urbanism program and founding principal of DESIGN EARTH.

Her work makes public the climate crisis by charting how technological systems have transformed the earth and imagining ways of living with such legacy geographies on a damaged planet.

In Geostories, DESIGN EARTH deploys the architectural project — drawing and narrative — to synthesize research across spatial scales, systems, and disciplines. It speculates on how to live with various matters of externalities, including those of technology, extraction, heritage, extinction, and a host of other social-environmental issues, all woven together in myth, fables, and devices of wonder.
