Diana Balmori's Manifesto points

"We must put the twenty-first century city in nature rather than put nature in the city. To put a city in nature will mean using engineered systems that function as those in nature and deriving form from them." - Diana Balmori

Building the foundations

Great chat with Sam Bourne at Boffa Miskell this week. Looking forward to more exciting things coming over the horizon...

the brief/invitation/rationale

This year Unitec Institute of Technology landscape architecture students were actively involved in the international event – The Understory - (Landscape Architecture Awareness Day).  In keeping with this years Understory theme, the editorial team is prompted to ask the question:

‘What is Landscape Architecture’?

The team welcomes contemporary definitions + specific niches + new directions + revelations in the form of:

experimental and innovative design projects

written research

photographic works

collages

digital animations or film.
