The Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and the Natural Environment is a platform founded in 2020 by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Its ambition is fostering dialogue, promoting conversation, and facilitating research about the relationship between the built and natural environment, with the aim of making the interaction between architecture and ecology visible and accessible to the wider public while highlighting the urgent need for an ecological recalibration. The establishment of the Institute was inspired by Emilio Ambasz’s visionary role in the emergence of architecture’s ecological consciousness.
