The overarching theme of this semester's studio is that of architecture's relationship to an extended contextual field -conventionally termed landscape. Although more typically understood as the "natural" condition on which an architectural intervention is imposed, this studio is predicated on an understanding of the mutuality of natural, technological, and cultural systems in the production of landscape. The student will utilize a variety of representational media, digital and analog, to interrogate architecture's position within this dynamic interplay of biotic, infrastructural, and social conditions, and the ways in which it operates in complicity with other discursive and technical systems to construct our perceptions of the natural realm.
