AA Graduate school: Landscape Urbanism 2014-15. Unit Staff: Alfredo Ramirez and Eduardo Rico.
Landscape Urbanism is a 12-month design course that explores how the techniques, dynamics and discourses of landscape-based disciplines can be reappropriated as a means to ask fundamental questions about the contemporary city. It investigates the how the intersection of physical and social processes of territorial formation generates new forms of urban typologies, governance and knowledge.
The course combines material explorations of landscape evolution (facilitated by digital simulations) with the development of critical perspectives and studio work. It is aimed at professionals – architects, landscape architects, engineers, urban planners and geographers – who are engaged with territorial disciplines.
