To deepen mutual understanding of Mongolian nomadic worldviews through a scholarly exchange with the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Environmental Building + Design (CEBD). Gerhub proposes an architectural exchange focused on Mongolian ger (nomadic felt dwellings), mobility, seasonal settlement patterns, and the ways by which nomadic practices shape cultural and ecological knowledge. Architectural scholars, students, and professionals from Mongolia and the U.S. will participate in seminars and workshops, engage in dialogues around their respective architectural practices and cultural frameworks and traditions, and visit indigenous communities, design laboratories, and local organizations working on sustainable and climate-responsive built environments. Gerhub hopes the exchange will deepen participants’ understanding of architectural traditions, cultural values, and climate resilience, build cross-border relationships, and enhance their development of future educational programs.
