About Discussions Projects7 Journals2

Local plants form the foundation of ecological design practice. Designers use native vegetation to create resilient landscapes, restore degraded sites, and establish connections between built environments and natural systems.

The community explores how local plant species inform masterplans for urban districts, therapeutic landscapes, vertical gardens, and brownfield regeneration. Projects demonstrate strategies for embedding regional flora into architectural design, from integrating gardens around structures to establishing ecological corridors and seasonal planting systems.

DISEMBARKED

“The cabin in the forest, on the banks of a quiet lake or buried in the wilderness back of beyond, is an expression of man’s desire to escape the exactions of civilization and secure rest and seclusion by a return to the primitive.” ~ From the epigraph of William A. Bruette’s 1934 book, Log Camps & Cabins. A Green Retreat in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Silva Loop

Silva Loop is a building and landscape architectural response to forest loss in Ethiopia. Multiple microclimates provide a diversity of habitats for an abundance of local and endemic bird species. These birds, non-human allies, will spread seed as they navigate the global, regional, and local flyways which overlap the project site, replanting as they go.

开启心灵之旅——滨水绿道疗愈景观设计

环境是构成自然的主体，然而人又是自然的产物。因此，在本规划设计中主要考虑“人与自然”之间的和谐关系，引入疗愈的设计理念。设计中以生态性、互动性、人性化为原则，充分体现人与自然的互动联系。在景观的概念创作中，提出“开启心灵之旅”的概念，让居民在场地中寻找属于自己的活动场所，开启心灵净化之旅，进而提高身体机能，促进身心健康。本规划中的景观空间设计包括:加强自然元素的运用，减弱环境负面影响如噪音、强光等，创造独立的空间围合，形成适当的园艺活动引导；建立促进交往发生的互动场景，设计与日常工作场所反差巨大的自然环境；融于自然的生态性设计，以及提倡全龄化景观平衡使用等。从而为人们提供健康治愈的景观环境，有效的解决或预防居民的健康问题，提高居民生活品质。
