Sitting at the highest point in the United Arab Emirates, on the soaring peaks of Jebel Jais northeast of Ras-Al Khaimah, House 00 perfects the delicate balance of being simultaneously in nature yet out of reach. Quality of air, breath-taking views and exceptional Dunite rock landscapes make Jebel Jais a perfect location for a unique house.

House 00 is a retreat, a sanctuary of the self, and an architectural response to shifting sociality in a post-Covid-19 world. Envisioned by Middle East Architecture Network (MEAN) as a prototype for living in isolation away from urban density, House 00 is an attempt at rebooting the basic conditions of domesticity, serenity, and intimacy.

On the inside, the 2000Sqm contemporary design borrows from traditional elements of local residential architecture, featuring all the amenities for a comfortable and healthy life, as well as the social and cultural necessities of the Emirati family. On the outside, the sculptural limestone and glass façade blends seamlessly into the surroundings, looking pristine yet man-made; monolithic yet architectonic at the same time. The house is organized into two parts embracing an inner courtyard. Spaces are split between east House OO is a villa built for the times we live in and west wings based on their respective uses and expected visitor numbers. The facade pattern continues upwards as a coffered slab hovering over the courtyard making for an in-house shaded oasis. A waterfall feature adds sound to the pleasant ambiance and marks the way to an infinity pool overlooking the mountains. Absorbed amid lush greenery and ample landscape, the main entrance leads visitors into the west wing via a double-height reception hall that segues into the dining area overlooking the courtyard, a gentle warp away from the Women’s Majlis. Walking past the courtyard, the journey concludes with a double-height family living with a staircase leading to the family private suite with four bedrooms.Thefirst floor is slashed 45 degrees aligning with the mountain cliff to capture south-east views. Daylight is invited through large windows in the living room, and also through skylights on the roof allowing natural daylight to seep in while maintaining privacy.Onthe east wing, guest functions align by the pool. A study room, guest bedroom, and male Majlis are almost formally separated from the rest of the house for added privacy. A separate soft kitchen facing the pool and the view serves during poolside events and barbecue parties. As the pandemic malaise drags across the city, House 00 offers more than life in solitude. It sets forth a unique experience for sharpening both the soul and the senses.

8 I REFLECTION A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT REFLECTS ON SPANNINGINTERNATIONALHISCAREER50YEARS IN 50 YEARS OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, ONLY THE TROPES HAVE CHANGED SAYS EDWARD FLAHERTY, AUTHOR AND EMERITUS MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

I had never heard of landscape architecture until my sophomore year in university. But I grew up on a golf course, caddying, playing--walking rolling grassy fairways cut out of thick forests. It clearly had an impact on me, although at the time, I had no idea. And, at the same time, in school, I always had a library book or a paperback of science fiction stories that I read when I could. I was attracted to those stories— mainly because I had no idea what would happen on the next page. Similar to walking around a fairway bend on a golf course--not knowing what lies ahead. Honestly, I had no idea then about landscape architecture or even that I might later be a story writer. But maybe an inkling of a landscape architecture design concept was germinating. After my degree in landscape architecture, I would call my first couple of jobs internships--I was still learning, big time. One job was with a government tourist development in Morocco where, unfortunately, a military attempted coup d’état completely ended international hospitality developers, like the Holiday Inn, from completing their projects. In the meantime, I oversaw their in-house nursery operations for a small campground and I learned that I didn’t know enough about plants.

REFLECTION

To improve my plant knowledge, I then took a mapping and labelling job at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. I was on the grounds among the plants 365 days per year and with the association of great horticulturists, I learned a lot about plants, which served me well throughout my landscape architecture career.

In growing my responsibilities on projects, the key effort I made, was continuously searching for international job positions. Which companies? What kinds of responsibilities? I was always on the hunt for larger private sector jobs. I took the opportunities when they arose. What kept me focussed? I was married and had a family. I had to provide food and shelter. That was my duty as a father. And it was the basis of all job and salary negotiations. Through five decades of international projects--good times and bad times--I had my family with me. It worked.Thebiggest challenge was always starting a new job in an unfamiliar country with a culture that was strange to me. Food, health, shelter, transportation--everyday life activity was a challenge. And the jobs? Every job was different and the differences depended not so much on I

But from those times, I learned French and got to update my job site experience on international hospitality destinations in a country of Muslim culture. That was the beginning. I learned something else on that job that applied to all of my international projects-on the job site during construction, there are always adjustments to the original design. These adjustments, most often based on field conditions, need to be sensitively made in order to achieve the original design intent, otherwise failures occur and clients are disturbed.

11 the scope of work but more on the personalities and skills of the people I worked with. On each international construction site job, I had to figure out who was a doer and who was a talker. Every job has a small unofficial nucleus of can-do people who actually get the work done. The challenge is to figure out who are those key people. That hurdle only reveals itself in real time on the job site. On one hand, the design office is polite and distant--quite idealistic in its own way. On the other hand, the construction site is hard, fast, complex and real life where delays cost large amounts of money--traditionally no place for idealism.Landscape architecture construction is fundamentally about drawings, specifications and contracts. It is essential to understand who controls the finances, and what is the chain of command on the construction site. Where does ’the buck stop’? And who is that controlling person?Europe as well as the USA have long established legal frameworks for design and construction. Countries in the Middle East that have oil wealth do not yet have well-established legal constructs for their major development projects. Sometimes American systems rule, sometimes British systems rule, sometimes hybrid systems rule--but in the end, local cultural power structure usually controls the finances. And culturally, local people who have questions and issues are always heard. How does that relate to a project? Changes with every project. There is no sure thing. And that is its ownNeitherchallenge.isthere a sure thing in Europe or the US where legal issues can arise in the near term and the very long term. Choose wherever you want to work--your choice--no place has a sure thing. There are hurdles and challenges everywhere in the world. Pick your culture and bring your tools. In my international career with my family, we found people on the street to be helpful in all places. That made the living experience better than doable. The landscape is so much larger than the hugely diverse and deep field of landscape architecture. In each country, I met local people who shared their landscape history; and that gave me context for my project decisions.Additionally, I encountered landscape influences very important to my writing career.

In the future, the landscape architecture should be in the hands of local people who understand and respect their local landscape. Their own understanding of the landscape in which they live is the most important. They all want dependable water, food, healthy life, good shelter for family stability and education for futureSomegenerations.culturalthings, tropes, from the West need to be discarded out of hand; but the proven new technologies that provide energy, water and food are very important for people living in the most austere of landscapes. Among the contemporary Western cultural tropes from our profession, in my opinion, should be discarded out of hand--the design trope ‘disruptive’ and the political trope ‘sustainable’. Sustainable? A word salad used by politicians to mean everything one time and nothing the next. Maybe I ran into it first, 30 years ago, in some United Nations Agenda 21 publication. And sustainable, without defining a time frame, is another cheap fashion trend not worth the price of an espresso. Sustainable, maintainable for how long? A week, a month, a year, an eternity? What in our life doesn’t change? The word salad is used by politicians for their own selfish ends. Use your intelligence to focus on something better-something real in the landscape. Landscape architects have always been motivated to improve the environment through which we all move. The only thing that has changed over the decades and centuries is the vocabulary--and that too is fad and fashion. These days, I am glad to see so many people in so many countries contribute to improving their environment. That is good. Identify your local problems. Solve them. The world problems? They will disappear when we all solve our local problems.

I have been inspired in many different landscapes--Morocco, Turkey, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE. On our own planet, these were contemporary landscape experiences that overwhelmed the science fiction reading I had done as a kid. I welcomed these paranormal and existential landscape experiences. And that is what I write about.

Arab culture is marked by family unity and we brought this to the basement environments, where a large part of the leisure area is located. In the basement, in addition to a showroom garage, we have an indoor pool with a semi-Olympic lane, a private barber shop, a cafeteria, a mosque for prayers, a bowling alley, a games space, and we couldn’t fail to have a private hamburger brand that belongs to our client. All the houses and the palace have access to the basement through elevators, which, in total, correspond to 11, with a highlight for an automotive elevator that goes from the basement to the main suite of the palace, they have in their totality more than 250 square meters. designed. One curiosity about this suite is the use of a fireplace next to the headboard, which serves as indirect light for the bed.

Water and its fluidity are key elements in this palatial project. An impressive fountain at the front of the site and two 20-meter high internal waterfalls add to the refinement, luxury and grandiosity of the space.Located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on a 5,400 square meters’ site, with a projected area of 11,645 square meters, the complex comprises a grand palace and four more villas, which belong to our client’s children.

Water is also present in other highlights of the project, such as a large illuminated fountain located between the two accesses of the palace, and it will also feature a “water ballet”. The landscaping and garden at the back of the palace has a large water mirror, with 102 meters of extension, this water feature is watered by a fountain idealized through parametric architecture in acute forms pieces to create a unique sound and effect each time and each angle that is seen. On the rooftop, a suspended pool with an area of almost 300 square meters was inserted, in this pool we designed a light and water effect where

In the past two years, Beirut city underwent a revolution, a global pandemic, an economic recession, a financial crisis and an unimaginable explosion destroying half of the city. The re-imagination of a resilient urban Beirut in 2022 is one that is responsive to the myriad of challenges that the city faces today.

HORSH BEIRUT Harnessing Ecology and Infrastructure in Beirut’s remaining urban pine forest By: studiolibani

“When rethinking the living environment, questions on urban resilience, climatic resilience, social equality, economic growth, and emergency response are inevitable in such a reality,” explains Leah Moukarzel Sarkissian, co-founder of studiolibani, an award-winning agency of landscape architects and urban strategists, operating internationally - based in the UAE.

18 I ENVIRONMENT

Along with her co-founder Dima Rachid, the two women lead a project that has sprung from the heart of Horsh Beirut, also known as the Pine Forest of Beirut. The project takes on a landscape approach to address urban issues at city scale. “Horsh Beirut once represented the largest contiguous forest space in the city. Today, it has been encroached, its limits redefined, gated and open only to selective public access,” explained by Sarkissian andBeforeRachid.adding, “In a city that is highly dense, where the understanding of the value of park systems is meager, and where open public space per person is 0.8sqm, reclaiming the role of Horsh Beirut, capitalizing on any available public space, and even intervening on private space becomes a must.”

In this proposal, ‘Horsh Beirut’ is re-imagined as a novel ecosystem, an infrastructure that serves as a social platform. It serves as ecological infrastructure deploying low-cost, high-impact green infrastructure that curate water movement, mitigate urban flooding, enhance biodiversity and micro-climate at urban scale. It improves urban connectivity by providing a network of shared streets and bridging open spaces. It provides a spatial platform for crisis management where pop-up tents, and first aid structures can be temporarily erected.

The traditional approach to infrastructure in Lebanon has become obsolete, particularly in the context of contemporary urban challenges, such as climate change, environmental degradation, urban growth and social inequality. The civil infrastructure of transportation, namely roads, highways, sidewalks, and tunnels, and the infrastructure of water, namely channels, pipes, and dams is predominant in our urban landscape. This project is based on the concept of landscape infrastructure as a holistic, multi-functional approach focused on reclaiming ecosystem services. The latter are essential to sustain the well-being of the living environment. It includes storm-water management, runoff reduction, flood control through water retention, air purification, heat island effect reduction among others. Ecological Infrastructure also known as blue-green infrastructure is a set of naturedriven interventions, applicable at multiple scales, capable of addressing climate change pressure as well as provide ecosystem services. In addition to being performative, these strategies can also double as social infrastructures. They have the capacity to perform as micro social spaces, mini-parks, that are collectively part of a larger network.

The establishment of the pine forest in the early 17th century was envisioned as a green belt to filter dusty Southern winds before arriving in the settlement. Today, the city faces water quality and quantity challenges, flood risks, overheating, and shrinking open shared spaces, all of which are exacerbated by unregulated urbanization.

20 I ENVIRONMENT

Climate change predictions, as per the RICCAR, Regional Climate Modeling System, list reduced precipitation and prolonged drought periods (6 additional consecutive days), which would add further stress on the water supply and impact the quality of the urban living. While the city suffers from an absent government and a lack of preparedness to manage such climate-accelerated crisis, studiolibani have stepped in as landscape architects/ urbanists, to reclaim the value of open, flexible, and accessible spaces and salvage the places that remain to respond to such concerns. As such, Horsh Beirut shall reclaim its fundamental infrastructural performance.

Similarly, while green-blue infrastructure strategies might seem as minor interventions, they are part of a larger network, one that we wish to imagine is born around Horsh Beirut and expands all along the city’s fabric.

The wetland intervention collects runoff and creates a hub for biodiversity. Cycling paths, a skating park, and existing sports courts complement the public health program. A central amphitheater, event space, as well as mini gardens cater for a range of social programs. Additionally, open flexible space responds to the need for publics emergency locations for future events such as pandemics, political instability, humanitarian aid etc. The overall balance in program and in strategically located interventions allows the site and in its surrounding to be more resilient to incoming challenges, the predicted and the indeterminate.

The forest is extended beyond its current limits to connect to the Hippodrome, an important cultural destination in the city. This extension expands the walkable surface area of the park and enhances accessibility from all neighborhoods, that which today is cut off via avenues and wide streets. The forest itself is enhanced ecologically with

AnalysisENVIRONMENTandMethodology

To achieve that, our vision does not take a typical planning and zoning approach, but rather a landscape approach focused on a series of pragmatic, simple, low-cost, nature-based regulated and contextualized interventions. We map out the remaining public parks in Beirut today to highlight the important role of park systems in collectively contributing to the urban resilience of the city, its importance for the public health of the residents, as well as its ecological role at city scale. We identify typologies evident in the context of Horsh Beirut, its neighborhoods, and in the original area of public land. These typologies include cemeteries and residential, military, and religious buildings, all encroaching on the original limits of Horsh Beirut, Beirut’s only forest landscape. Roads and avenues have sliced through the neighborhood further separating the Pine Forest from its users. The extensive grey infrastructure of roads, avenues, streets, empty wide sidewalks, tunnels and roundabouts are physically and visually dominant. This project proposes a radical gesture connecting forest to context and enhancing pedestrian networks.

Project Credits: The project was initiated in the form of a competition in 2019 by Nahnoo NGOLB. Nahnoo has been advocating for the right to public space since 2010. The proposal is led by studiolibani FZ-LLC and is the collective effort of experts in landscape architecture, place-making, urban design, architecture, traffic engineering, and community engagement.

With all its glory and slopes (pun intended), the ramp is surrounded by softscape and is tasked to the quantity surveyor for take-offs. Quantities are taken from planar objects from polylines.

How to select the most efficient irrigation design for your project

By: Asif Iqbal Irrigation Specialist

24 I IRRIGATION

All irrigation designers know (at least, I hope they do) that slopes greater than 3 to 5% need special design considerations. A valve with pipes running downhill, a separate valve for the ‘toe’ of the hill (of course, the water-holding capacity of the dripline takes precedence here), and 25% extra spacing could save us so much trouble.

25 the irrigation pipes: mainline, lateral and drip tubing. Resulting in a poor bill of quantity - head loss calculations are off, and so is the design.

Yes, there are spot elevations on architectural drawings. Imagine an organic shape, contorting to the crowning, and now imaging hundreds of them, if not thousands, in a large site—best of luck with that.

Pipes mistakenly laid running uphill, resulting in lower pressure in the end – yes, I know we have pressure compensating emitters and solenoid valves with pressure regulators and other options but do we really want to go that route?

The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

Dedicated or speciality software for such issues as Autodesk’s Civil 3d or irrigation F/X could save so much confusion, time and money. Yes, I know there are others too; pick your poison.

As designers, when good designs are fashioned, albeit the resistance to keeping the cost low from clients. It pays off in recognition and goodwill towards the organization in the long term and benefits the client in low cost of operations, low maintenance and a healthy softscape.

The point is that being conscious of it is the first step; so many times, as landscape design teams churn out drawings (notice, not design), this vital difference of slope/grade is forgotten unless it’s something like a stepped planter. And even then, placing a valve on each level reduces the cost and effort required.

Architects, mechanical engineers assigned as landscape/irrigation consultants or “even” speciality landscape consultants oblivious to this slippery path let it fall through the cracks like a throng of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ effects.

26 I IRRIGATION

Software or not, designers need to make a conscious effort to incorporate this into their practice. Clients need to be informed about the long-term benefits over the short-term cost saving. Even though we can get away with it –designers, you know what I am talking about, we shouldn’t.

• Dripline laterals should follow the contours of the slope whenever possible.

27 The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

• When elevation change is 10’ (3 m) or more, zone the bottom one-third of the slope separately from the rest of the slope to provide greater low line drainage control.

• Techline DL should be installed perpendicular to slopes (more than 4%).

• Install Landscape Dripline at normal spacing within the top two-thirds of the slope.

• In the lower 1/3 of the slope, increase the distance between rows by 25%.

• An air/vacuum relief valve should be installed perpendicular to the Landscape Dripline grid and at the highest point.

SLOPES:

• In conditions where the elevation change is greater than 10’, zone the two areas separately.

• In slope applications, run the Techline DL perpendicular to (across) the slope.

• Install Landscape Dripline at 25% greater spacing within the bottom one-third of the slope.

• Slopes present special circumstances because of how water moves through the soil.

• Installations such as long medians usually have a slope of 1% to 4%. In these cases, you may wish to use inline check valves to prevent drainage of the water inside the piping network to the lower elevations.

• In the upper 2/3rd’s of the slope, space the Techline DL per Table 1, page 2.

Elevation Changes The topography of a site will affect the application and flow of water. The design of the system must take into account any banks, slopes, berms or depressions on the site since runoff may occur with slopes of 3% or greater. Use the following criteria to install a Landscape Dripline system on a slope:

The project offers an exciting new paradigm of healing and learning environments that holistically blends building and landscape to create a deeply rooted connection to the Bentonville community, the world-class arts environment of Crystal Bridges and the wider ecosystem and magic of the Ozarks.”

Simon David, Founding Principal and Creative Director, OSD. “The design integrates the building into both the site and the community, engaging the land as an abstraction of Ozark geology that embraces the principles of integrated medicine, and the holistic link between mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.”

The building’s front corner elevates above the ground-plane, creating a protective canopy that allows community access through and onto the building. Whether arriving by foot, bicycle, or vehicle, the campus invites students and visitors under the abstracted “bluff shelter” on the building’s public façade facing J Street.

Conceived as an extension of Crystal Bridges’ forest, the woodland trails seamlessly connect the School’s campus with the adjacent arts institutions, creating a link between art, nature and healing for a holistic learning environment.

OSD’s proposal for the outdoor features of the rooftop park and surrounding site focus on holistically integrating the building with the woodlands of Crystal Bridges.

Thoughtfully designed to support accessible pedestrian and bike networks, stewardship of regional ecology, and community connections, the site’s landscape features include a woodland meditation and foraging and healing gardens, wetland, outdoor classrooms, urban farming space, and a rooftop terrace that connects to balconies, a cafe, and an amphitheater.

Currently in the design development phase, construction of the 154,000 square-foot building will begin in Spring 2023, with the goal of completing and welcoming the first class in Fall 2025, pending accreditation.

Other than the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, OSD has previously designed the Shepherd Arts Campus for the Library Street Collective in Detroit, Michigan and a districtwide plan for walking and biking in Manhattan’s Flatiron and NoMad District.

The leading driveway is made of aggregate concrete to withstand the heavy loads and storms. The sound of pea gravel stretched all over the orchard, crackling under your feet will sooth you while forging your way in.

Large strips of stepping stones sitting on a bed of white pebbles walk you to the stairs leading to the hidden garden.

Two majestic olive trees guide you to the main house entrance coming from the pedestrian access where a simple hidden black fence hints at the undiscovered little island of pleasure you’re about to enter.

Two brown patches of a beautifully carved wooden deck occupy the seaside terrace: one leads you to a recessed seating area where a warm fire and a fresh breeze are there to regulate your temperature according to your needs. A water channel crafts its way in an axial tracing and ends in a circular sphere shaped water feature.

The second parallel patch leading from the living room will escort you towards the infinity pool which boasts spectacular views with the glimmering ocean beyond. The deck is bordered by white pebbles on one end whereas on the other end it sits on a water channel as a reminiscence of the prominent use of water throughout the site. The green berms of manicured lawns beneath the deck reveal a few steps towards the swimming pool, plunging you straight you into the solemn oasis which slowly starts revealing itself.

The front garden, designed like a patio, is surrounded by walls adorned with plants and water elements for a welcoming and private space.

36 I GARDEN FESTIVAL ‘Les Jardins de Métis’ takes inspiration from the pandemic The five new garden additions to this year’s festival are inspired by the theme of adaption CANADA’S FAMED INTERNATIONAL GARDEN FESTIVAL

Graduates of McGill University, Eadeh Attarzadeh is an urban planner and urban designer at Stantec and Lorenzo Saroli Palumbo is an architect at Atelier d’Architecture Saroli Palumbo inc. Together, they form a multidisciplinary and complementary duo, Maison029, with the objective of offering unique characteristics to each project they realize. To do so, they seek to e mbody and amplify the qualities of a project’s context through the playful exploration of form, materiality, construction technique and light. Whether it’s for architectural projects, urban design, furniture or graphics - it’s all in- house.

FORTERESSES by Maison029 [Eadeh Attarzadeh, Lorenzo Saroli Palumbo], Montréal (Québec) Canada

New gardens of the International Garden Festival

The romantic notion of believing that forests are spared from all human contact and interference will thrive has unfortunately been disproven. As long as humanity persists on its present course, it has become unrealistic to expect our forests to defend themselves. Forteresses is a symbolic intervention within the forest, proposing an aggressive method to protect our flora from its greatest predator: ourselves. The geometry of each modular defensive system adapts to the size, type and age of each tree. Forteresses is meant to be appreciated for the beauty of its geometries in addition to encouraging visitors to question the impact they have on their environment and reminding them that our flora is often unable to protect itself.

The five new gardens of the International Garden Festival presented at the Jardins de Métis from June 24 to October 2 in Quebec, Canada is a highlight for any landscape professional or enthusiast. The festival is the largest contemporary garden festival in North America with approximately twenty creations by some seventy architects, landscape architects and designers from various disciplines. This year’s presentation is inspired by the theme “Adaptation”, a reality we are facing, especially in the last two years. To live and survive, humans, like nature, must show adaptation and resilience. Twelve designers from Quebec, France and the United States invite visitors to come and reflect on this daily challenge.

LICHEN by Marie-Pier Gauthier-Manes, Chloé Isaac, Victor Roussel, Montréal (Québec) Canada / Paris, France

38 I GARDEN FESTIVAL

The lichen is a perceptive, malleable and mutable organism. It metamorphoses in contact with the topography, humidity and ambient temperature. Like its namesake, Lichen is sensitive to disturbances in its environment and is therefore a valuable indicator of environmental change. Composed of small, delicate elements, it is nonetheless a cohesive and resistant structure that serves to prepare the ground for other plant species. As we wander between its agglomerations, we observe, otherwise invisible, elements reveal themselves in colourful patterns. Inspired by terracotta pots, real archetypes in gardens, this installation is composed of 1,200 handmade earthenware rings that are fired in an outdoor kiln right here at the Jardins de Métis. The drainage and water retention capabilities of this material allow for both a more constant irrigation of the soil and a longer retention of moisture. This environment allows plants that are particularly sensitive to temperature variations and drought to grow peacefully. Its thermochromic treatment changes its appearance according to the temperature to reveal different colours throughout the summerMarie-Pierseason.Gauthier-Manes is a product and space designer, Chloé Isaac is a ceramacist and graphic designer and Victor Roussel is a 3D artist. All three studied environmental design at the Université du Québec à Montréal. It is during their studies that they developed their friendship and discovered the pleasure of creating together. They are attracted to design proposals that put the properties of materials at the centre as well as artisanal and eco-responsible approaches. Despite their similar educational backgrounds, they are now creators with very different profiles. Marie- Pier is the founder of Studio Moodswings. Chloé and Victor are now based in Paris and work on their own.

The sunflowers are grown upside-down but will bend up as they grow towards the sun, defying gravity. Visitors can visit the installation numerous times to experience how adaptable plants are to their circumstances: phototropically, gravitropically, and

GRAVITY FIELD by TERRAIN WORK [Theodore Hoerr, Rebecca Shen, Kelly Watters], New York, ÉtatsUnis Plants are extraordinarily adaptive. They can thrive in some of the harshest environments on earth by responding to a myriad of stimuli – sun, water, temperature, soil, and gravity – to sustain life. Plants are also essential to human existence, providing sustenance, ecosystem services, and carbon sequestration.Whilethey play a key role in mitigating the effects of climate change that threaten our existence as a species, they too are also vulnerable and must adapt quickly to a rapidly changing climate. Gravity Field demonstrates the robust adaptation of plants in even extremely strenuous conditions.

Terrain Work’s landscapes and urban strategies consider how landscape’s innate ability to change create new emergent forms and experiences that synthesize culture, nature, and the built environment. They approach each project with a curiosity and collaborative spirit born out of the belief that landscapes should perform as both cultural provocateur and ecological system.

Terrain Work is an international landscape architecture, urban design and public art studio in New York City that is known for its creativity and design innovation.

LES HUIT COLLINES by ONOMIAU [Noël Picaper], Levallois-Perret, France

41 The First Specialised Landscape Magazine in the Middle East

The intention, behind this assembly of surfaces, is to reveal the richness of a whole environment, catalyzing other forms of interactions for various living beings. Dreamlike and supporting functions, this work influences the climate by softening the summer heat with its shades and its flora. Les huit collines thus elaborate a landscape charged with meaning that never ceases to evolve both by its composition and by the cycles of life that it shelters.

Conceived as evolving structures, those eight hills imagine biological spatialities. Through inanimate and organic materials, they create life effects. A hilly landscape then appears, capable of offering various experiences to humans as well as to non-humans (birds in particular). Serving as a seating area, a microgarden, a contemplative space and an ecological reservoir, this project offers visitors a multitude of spatial sequences to practice, seating, hiding places and amphitheatre and more.

Born in Bonn, Germany, Noël Picaper lives and works in Paris. Since September 2021, he has been teaching at the School of Architecture in ClermontFerrand. On the border between architecture, art and biology, Noël Picaper’s creations paint a picture of a world made of playful and dreamlike landscapes, where humans and their natural environment cohabit in new ways. After working for Junya Ishigami inapan, in 2019 he created Onomiau, an architecture and design collective interested in experimental spaces and architectural fictions. Onomiau stands for “office for nomadic architecture”.

Pierre-Olivier Demeule holds a master’s degree in architecture, a master’s degree in science and is an architectural intern at ABCP architecture. In recent years, his interest in informal and vernacular built heritage has led him to work on various projects in collaboration with indigenous populations.

By approaching, a section of the tarpaulin is unhooked, and you are invited to slip into it. Inside, a structure made of finely assembled wooden slats reveals a path modulated by a play of solids and voids. What are all these cleverly arranged slats and why do they seek to reach the infinite? Aren’t they constrained by this tarpaulin that can be seen from the outside? Looking up at the sky, a brief glance at the tall trees suggests a final thought: if the space we build emanates from a world of finite resources and therefore cannot be infinite, could this skillfully sculpted forest able to be?

FORÊT FINIE, ESPACE INFINI? by Antonin Boulanger Cartier, Pierre-Olivier Demeule, Melaine Niget, Québec (Québec) Canada From a distance, Forêt finie, espace infini?, takes on the appearance of a pile of sawn wood that a carpenter might have placed there while waiting for his next project. This defined form covered with a plastic sheeting waits in the summer heat. Rooted in the middle of a path crossing the boreal forest, the installation however obstructs the passage. Without being able to go around it, is it possible to cross it, to face it seems inevitable.

Melaine Niget is an urban designer and architectural intern at Groupe A / Annexe U. The versatility of his training in architecture and urban design has led him to become involved in several research groups at the École d’architecture of the Université Laval.

Antonin Boulanger Cartier is an architectural intern at Bourgeois Lechasseur Architectes. He is also a candidate for the master’s degree in architectural sciences within the Habiter le Nord québécois partnership at Université Laval.

Tangier Gardens was published earlier this year, is available on Amazon, and has numerous glowing reviews. This tale steps away from the crowded landscape architecture shelves of project design analysis, sustainable politics and how-to think/do. Rather it is a fictional autobiography written by a landscape architecture student needing one more class til graduation--his problems, challenges and solutions. In Tangier Gardens, the student, CJ, discovers the arcane magic weave of culture and horticulture that is the very root of landscape architecture. Instructors at university try to teach it to the students. But what happens when those students emerge into our contemporary real life dystopic Thatworld?confrontation is the core of Tangier Gardens.
