Samenvatting

The current environmental crisis calls for a unified practice of landscape and architecture that would allow buildings and landscapes to perform symbiotically to heal the environment.

Ecologic designers develop environments that address issues such as energy climate and remediation, such as I'm Lost In Paris in France (R&Sie(n)), Turistroute in Eggum, Norway (Snohetta) and Parque Atlantico in Santander, Cantabria, Spain (Batlle i Roig Arquitectes). Biocomputation designers use digital technologies to align biology and design in projects such as the Grotto Concept (Aranda/Lasch), North Side Copse House in West Sussex, England (EcoLogicStudio) and Local Code: Real Estates (Nicolas de Monchaux.) What these projects all have in common is a desire to pay attention and homage to the liminal space where indoors and outdoors meet. The critical connection between natural and synthetic, exterior and interior space, paves the way toward a more inclusive-and indeed more alive-conceptualization of the physical world.
