The studio begins with a fundamental premise of landscape architecture- reading a landscape and ‘re-presenting’ it articulately. The students will learn vital skills for representing landscapes and develop methods for analysing them. The studio will also enable them to define, strategize and imagine a response to the studied landscape.
Forests can be understood as rational relationships of geography, soil, climate and vegetation, but they are also more than the sum of these parts and have their place deep in the human imagination. The studio will investigate a forest and attempt to look at it from a multidimensional perspective, looking at multiple sites to observe, investigate and develop ways of understanding this complex unit.
