By drawing and modeling these agricultural landscapes, we will unveil the specific climatic, geomorphological, and technical processes and constraints through which they receive their forms. With climate change at the core of the agenda, we will focus on vernacular landscapes emerging from extreme conditions, such as deserts, tropical rainforests, and tundras. With the selection of these different case studies, the course as a whole will aim at covering the widest possible range of environmental conditions across the globe. Students in the course will also be asked to choose and investigate a vernacular agricultural landscape, that is, a landscape that has slowly evolved through the agricultural practices of those who live in it. In this course, we will investigate these notions through lectures, readings, and discussion on the history of ecological ideas and concurrent theories of evolution and thermodynamics, all of which ultimately deal with different kinds of order we see in the world as time flows through energy and matter. In today’s landscape architecture, ideas of time, process, change, and transformation are often approached through vague ecological discourse. As a result of the interaction of forces exerted by different entities, the environment is in a continuous state of transformation, a state of becoming, of which we are not always aware.

As Henri Bergson put it, time is invention, the creation of forms. Landscape architecture is one of these forces.īorrowing the title from Stephen Jay Gould’s book on the history of geology, this course will focus on the temporal dimension of landscape.
