Architectural Pairs: Architecture vs. Landscape
This is the first event in the ‘Architectural Pairs’ lecture and discussion series from Strelka featuring Bjarke Ingels (BIG - Copenhagen) and Martin Rein-Cano (Topotek1 - Berlin).
“The reappropriation of architectural systems and geometries has enriched the design process of the profession. This phenomenon has made the landscape architect aware of strategies that were often alien to his milieu, and thus resulting in a re?conceptualization of landscape ideals. Consequently, architecture has begun to adapt the dynamic and temporal qualities inherent to landscape. These peculiar landscape traits have been translated into new architectural strategies.”
My good friend Daniel Dendra was the moderator at this lecture.
