Beschreibung
des Entwurfs-programmes |
The FS2015 Landscape Architecture Design Studio of Prof. Christophe Girot proposes to investigate future architectural and landscape adaptations of water restrained settlements in the Arizona uplands of North America. The design studio will address the contemporary challenge of architectural and landscape design in a dry but flood prone area in times of climate change. The prime concern will be the study of the local topography to propose a resilient periodic water distribution network with seasonal settlement and cultivation. The studio will heavily rely on field analysis to thoroughly understand the inherent landscape structure, rainwater catchment and distribution in the dry Sonoran desert. The aim is to develop a range of applications at the architectural scale and the landscape scale that envision a (re)found attitude towards urban development. |

Lernziele |
During the studio, students will elaborate a site specific strategy both at an architectural and landscape architectural level. The design approach will incorporate the amplitude and dynamics of water in relation with topography, vegetation and temporary human settlement. Analogue tools (sketches, sections, models, plans) will alternate with computer tools (CNC modelling, Computer analysis and 3D visualisation) to develop tangible and precise structures in the landscape at various stages and scales. During the semester, skills in CAADCAM will be developed in order to familiarise students with the design of topographically responsive interventions. The combined means of architectural and landscape representation with regard to fluctuating water runoff will help define new development typologies in desert landscapes. A field trip to Arizona and beyond is planned in March with architecture Students of the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands. It will provide a better insight in the design question at hand through site expeditions, presentations and discussions.
The goal of the studio is to create a set of clearly defined design approaches. This will be achieved through evolving architectural and landscape design solution that pay special attention and incorporate topography, the dynamics of water systems, vegetation and human activities into a single whole. Students are asked to define how people can live in dry but flood prone landscapes in the wake of the 21st Century. They will be asked to work on a set of landscape scales in terms of topography. The combination of an architectural and landscape architectural approach should help generation a range of possibilities and vision for the future qualification of urban rivers in such degraded urban environments. |
