ENSAMBLE STUDIO: TOWERS OF LANDSCAPE

TOWERS OF LANDSCAPE

The Towers of Landscaped was first developed for the Chicago Biennial for which I was a part of the team but was later showcased in the Orléans Architecture Biennial, France, 2017, developed as an extension of the previously showcased Structures of Landscape.

Structures of Landscape (Tippet Rise Art Center, 2015) as was first envisioned, emerge from and resonate with the landscape where they are sited, they become embedded in their larger systems and constellations of elements, that provide context and meaning.

This research keeps us wondering whether it is possible to partially dislocate such experience and operate in the city with some of the lessons learnt, as a counter-movement where “nature” can be newly built to invade some of the spaces reserved for efficient industrialized structures, where the natural and the artificial blur and architecture is allowed to refer to the space of the mountains, the canyons, the cliffs and the caves; as the starting point of a new research: Towers of Landscape.
