Landscape-urbanism project spring-09

  1. After discovering that Ski morraine marked the shift in the landscape from forest folds to an open agricultural landscape, I worked on establishing and strengthening a route following the morraine that enhanced the patterns in the landscapes and structured the urbanisation it passed through. I like this project because it gave me an oppurtunity to experiment with new scales, views and medias.

  2. Very good Betsey
    I remember this project, as I remember I liked it to. We once journeyed hrough the finnish landscape following forgotten paths to unknown places. Out of this visit to "thouchstones" (ref Shakespeare)in the finnish landscape we introduced a new (mental map) of Finland enhancing this points and their relation to each other. Under the introduction of a TGV in this fields, and how it transformed this landscape.

  4. I just forward a very interesting comment, or rather a reference, that Kelly Shannon mentioned to some students in the last semester final crit. It is a book, written by Kevin Lynch, called The View from the Road., in which he tries with very beautiful diagrams and drawings to describe his own experience of a landscape "on the road" while driving at car speed..
