Urban Landscape
Design and architecture projects exploring cities, landscapes, and the relationship between urban environments and natural systems.
Urban landscape encompasses the physical design of cities and the integration of natural elements within built environments. This includes strategies for sustainable development, adaptive reuse of urban spaces, and the creation of livable communities that balance infrastructure with ecological systems.
The community explores farmscapes and productive landscapes within cities, green infrastructure interventions, post-industrial site reclamation, and sustainable housing models at urban peripheries. Work ranges from facade transformations and food-focused urban design to experimental housing prototypes and morphological approaches to city planning.
