What is Landscape?
''The idea of landscape is always changing. James Corner states that the “landscape construct is inherently unstable, an indeterminate dimension that can be opened up through artistic practices and mad to reveal alternative sets of possibility.”(1999:158). ''
All the Focus Weeks I have completed over my three year study in Landscape Architecture in Kingston University, I am more then looking forward to this Focus week to begin. The Theme or shall I say the topic of conversation is ''What is Landscape'' with presentations and discussions planned for two days on the 25th and 27th should bring an good insight for us students in what directions to take after we graduate from university.
The reasons why I am looking forward to these lectures by people involved within different areas of Landscape Architecture, is because defining What is Landscape can be difficult, explaining to people when they say What is Landscape is difficult, as the only thing people say is are you going to become an ''GARDENER'' it is pretty annoying hearing the same thing again and again.. hopefully after these series of lectures will gain an more solid answer while answering people.
Within these two days individuals will be presenting and discussing about their personal experinaces they have learnt within their work field in the context of What is Landscape. It will be great to hear what are people are experiancing and the different types and fields we could approach after university as Landscape Designer/Architects.
Lectures will be given by :
First Day
Christain Spencer Davies - AModels
Heather Ring - Wayward Plants
Maria Smith - Studio Weave
Second Day:
Sam Johnston - Gustafson Porter
Will Sandy - Three Green Dots
Trenton Oldfield - This is Not A Gataeway
