The drawing is part of a triptych by the architectural practice DESIGN EARTH dedicated to the Cedars God in Lebanon’s Qadisha Valley, part of “Climate Inheritance”, a speculative design research publication that reckons with the complexity of world and heritage in the Anthropocene.

In a strategic subversion of the media aura of heritage, DESIGN EARTH casts ten World Heritage sites as narrative figures to visualize pervasive climate risks, all while situating the present emergency within the wreckages of other ends of world, replete with the salvages of extractivism, racism, and settler colonialism. The possibilities of such climate inheritances are narrated in drawing triptychs and mythologies that bequeath other worlds and values.
