SUMMARY:Co-Adaptive—Ruth Mandl and Bobby Johnston
LOCATION:Building W41 (MET Warehouse) 1216\, 134 MASSACHUSETTS Avenue\, Ca

DESCRIPTION:Co-Adaptive—Ruth Mandl and Bobby Johnston\nPart of the MIT Fal
 l 2026 Architecture Lecture Series\nPresented with the Architecture and U
 rbanism Group\n\nCO₂\nCOAdaptive\n\nAs our planet gets hotter\, and more 
 extreme weather events become the norm\, CO Adaptive is positioning thems
 elves as an unbuild\, design and build practice: a new model that reunite
 s designers and builders through collaboration in order to re-think our j
 oint role in shaping the built environment\; contending with architecture
  at the intersection of saving embodied carbon and reducing operational e
 nergy. As stewards of the existing material repository contained in our c
 ities\, CO Adaptive aims to increase the resilience and reusability of al
 l that already surrounds us.\n\nTheir talk will engage the breadth of the
  practice’s work—from adaptive reuse projects and high-efficiency retrofi
 ts to material salvage operations\, remanufacturing\, and design for disa
 ssembly. These projects yield a critical perspective on how buildings and
  materials re-engage in their next iteration of use\, working towards a r
 eality in which extractive and depleting habits are replaced by a circula
 r library of abundance.\n\nCO Adaptive is an unbuild-design-build practic
 e founded by Ruth Mandl and Bobby Johnston in 2011. Initially it was star
 ted as an architecture practice\, focused on retrofitting existing buildi
 ng stock to create energy efficient\, climate resilient and spatially bea
 utiful environments.\n\nTo have a greater impact on the process of taking
