Poster "Approaches to Sustainable Landscaping" @ 'Urban Futures: the Challenge of Sustainability - AGS Annual Meeting 2009' ETH Zurich
The AGS Annual Meeting, ETH Zurich 26-29 January 2009:
From the conference synopsis:
"By 2050, over 6 billion people - three quarters of the world's population – will live in cities. Can this dramatic demographic change be harnessed to ensure progress towards sustainability?
Our propositions:
- cities, properly managed, can be transformative arenas in which natural resources are used more efficiently and economically, contributing to a high quality of life for everyone;
- reinventing cities offers one of the most effective ways of reducing human impacts upon the environment and achieving greater sustainability."

fremdforschung [strangeness research] II
This phenomenological inquiry into public space interprets the alien, the strange (dt. das Fremde) as symbolic component of our environment. “Approaches to the alien” were conducted in the Rhine valley between Bregenz, Fußach and Dornbirn, mapping places of strange connotation to people by asking passengers to name an alien place. Thereby the research followed an unintended route. This path was later put on a wall in the exhibition space and complemented with ‘strange objects’ [dt. Fremdkörper], kinematic pictures and quotes from philosophical literature.
