There is a common theme to each of the following examples: the connection and balance between the natural and technological worlds.
The ideas are typically based around an idealised notion of a romantic space or elemental landscape, but are hard-wired into the 21st century through their use of ‘green’ materials and technologies. The design process echoes this by taking the crudest elemental sketches and refining them through models, digital imagery, prototypes and then manufacture/construction. At one level this is simply a description of how an idea is given form and presence, but at another it is suggestive of how our random and abstract thoughts about making landscapes fit for the 21st century conform to a common pattern – ideas from instinct and intuition shaped and made real by technological processes.
