It argues that productive surplus emerges when past and present functions remain simultaneously legible, forcing users to negotiate meaning, norms, and use within a low-resolution landscape.]]> https://landezine.com/the-stubborn-artifact-adaptive-reuse-and-the-case-for-design-surplus/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/how-public-is-private-aesthetics-obligation-and-the-ecology-of-ownership/ https://landezine.com/how-public-is-private-aesthetics-obligation-and-the-ecology-of-ownership/#comments Mon, 20 Oct 2025 08:54:56 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=126575 The essay argues that climate collapse pushes ownership into public responsibility and aesthetics into a medium of obligation.

Many processes pass through the grade of the ground, relating to water, energy, ecology and vegetation, with trees bridging above- and below grade. Organic matter is created in the ground, carbon is captured and stored there, and it is the habitat of various species. If we, as landscape architects, aim to incorporate ecology and hydrology into project development, the design phase must incorporate a thinking of above- and below grade as one.]]> https://landezine.com/deep-landscape/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/3-april-july-2-democratic-landscape-transformation-seminar-ola/ https://landezine.com/3-april-july-2-democratic-landscape-transformation-seminar-ola/#respond Wed, 22 May 2024 08:29:14 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=107510 Open Landscape Academy invites you to join an online seminar from April 3 to June 2 on Democratic Landscape Transformation.
