The studio began with a fundamental premise of landscape architecture- reading a landscape and ?re-presenting? it articulately. The students learned vital skills for representing landscapes and develop methods for analysing them. The studio also enabled 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 investigated a forest and attempted to look at it from a multidimensional perspective, looking at multiple sites to observe, investigate and develop ways of understanding this complex unit.
