The proposal envisions the threshold between the built urban fabric and the natural environment at the water’s edge. It focuses on the development of public space at the water’s edge, and tries to transform that space into a new interface that can be experienced as a valued and essential part
This thesis section has for several years encouraged transdisciplinary landscape planning interventions in China’s large-scale eco-environmental programmes (生态立州). With China’s Belt and Road Initiative and increasingly diverse processes of going out (走出去), this section welcomes landscape-driven theses in transnational arenas of global environmental importance heavily influenced by Chinese development, aid
The word “landscape” possesses so many meanings and is open to so much interpretation that it often becomes difficult for landscape architects to define with precision the object and the limits of their interventions, both spatially and disciplinarily. In this stream students are encouraged to approach the making of places
This thesis will consider the possibilities of the “urban / landscape misfit” in the context of the contemporary Asian city. In the last four decades, rapid urbanization, massive scales of investment, and weak development controls, have led to landscape of fragments and discontinuities. In this context, traditional concepts of viewing
Site design-does it matter? When? Where? Why? How? In the face of dire environmental challenges including climate change, extreme wealth disparity, political strife, in addition to the only increased demand on natural resources and productive capacities of regional landscapes, the value of site-scaled built works can not be taken for
Resources required to sustain urban life are increasingly supplied from a vast hinterland of productive landscapes well beyond the city’s boundaries. The ecological footprint (food- water- energy- footprints) of a high rise high density city should now be considered at a global scale. Cross boundary resource dependence, however, is subject
In this studio, students considered landscape architecture’s capacity to engage with environments undergoing rapid change. Through map analysis and literature review, students revealed the ways in which landscape systems, cultural practices, and patterns of human settlement are intertwined, reflecting on the role of strategies and proposals to achieve alternate, more
Rapid population growth, rural-urban migration, and the occupation of vulnerable territories are powerful characteristics for the increase of informal settlements. Largely, informal settlements have been defined by socio-economic standards, poverty, and lack of infrastructure. However, there is little research to comprehend the ecosystems, grounds, and implications of settling those environments.
