ARC363: Landscape Architecture Studio III

Instructor: Sonja Vangjeli Individual Work, 2019.09-12

The project is an exploration of public space. It is challenging to construct tangible landscape by using the intangible features of public space. Since the landscape site is continuously generating and changing, people’s habit and activities are logically depending on the history of the site. It is important to understand the history of the site, since the current appearance is a result of changes based on its history. Landscape and people are contemplate that people’s behavior changes the landscape and landscape influences how people’s living experience continuously at the same time. The project is trying to have a conservation with future people in 30 years. It’s conventional that the technology will not change too much of people’s living style. And trying to add a romantic and poetic environment into life. It is suggesting people to slow down and experience what is genuinely precious in life.
