Course description
Students in this course design fixed or mobile architectures that sustain or shape familiar or unfamiliar landscapes. The idealisation of wilderness, agrarian and (post) industrial landscapes through historical concepts such as the picturesque, as well as contemporary ideas about nature as a casualty of human activity, are the conceptual backdrop for revisiting the relationship between buildings and their environments. Design research in this course includes extensive fieldwork, documentation of natural processes and systems, and reference to other genres in which landscapes and nature are portrayed. Students explore active and temporal relationships between architecture and its environment.
