Listen "On the Afterlives of Orbital Infrastructures / Rajji Desai"
Episode Synopsis
“It's so paradoxical - something which is so big, something which is so huge… It's almost invisible.” Rajji Desai talks about the afterlives of orbital infrastructures and how these objects in the outer space have an influence on everything that spans from the earth’s high orbits to its high seas. Rajji Desai is an Urban Climate Researcher-Designer at CBT Architects in Boston, where her work focuses on integrating interdisciplinary tools of research with urban planning practices to help shape the development of cities facing extreme risks of climate change. She is a recent graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Masters in Design Studies concentration in Urbanism, Landscape, and Ecology.
