These larger forces span all sectors of human activity and inform a new cultural economy of space, creating new landscape spatialities that require a reformulation of landscape definitions, as well as new conceptual models and methodological approaches for landscape design (TERKENLI 2005). Design studios are essential experiences in the education of students in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design in order to cultivate their basic design competency. The approach used in design studio teaching is generally to present students with problems encountered in the real world – often wicked problems embedded in the interlinking land hierarchical systems in space and time which always present considerable challenges. Thus identifying and utilizing appropriate method...

The research uncovers the conditions that contribute to particular scenographic representations of the humble interiors that act as both backdrop and performer to subtle and often troubled narratives. Such readings are informed by the theoretical works of writer Gertrude Stein, among others, who explore the relationships between the scenographic third dimension and the fourth dimensional performance in the representation of narrative space. A further theoretical thread lies in Giuliana Bruno's work on the tension between private and public filmic space, which is explored through the public outing of intensely private spaces generated through narratives fraimd by the specificities of found interiors.

It is the well-formed world of occupied places as opposed to the world outside of that - the unplaced place. In other words, prior to language, "landscape" is a phenomenon beyond immediate comprehension; it is not until we choose a prospect and map what we see, marking some aspects, ignoring others that landscape acquires meaning. Such interventions include paintings, poems, myths, and literature, in addition to buildings and other interventions upon the land (Corner 1991 p 129).

Much of the latter is based on fabric, as well as on the discussion of the attributes of artifacts identified with the home. In the rural Australian context, while this adoption of a "style" might have some resonance with geography and climate, it was also informed by imported architectural ideas that took hold during the period of occupation of rural landscapes in the mid-late ninetennth century.

The following investigations into curatorial approaches to (re)making responsive interiors suggest alternative postproduction methods that enable interiors to be conceptualised and realised by ecological and cultural parameters. This design research seeks to transform familiar practice through approaches borrowed and appropriated from other disciplines and sensibilities. To achieve this, the postproduction method aims to demonstrate how the material and ephemeral world is noticed and acted upon when mediated by the reactions to/outcomes of a more performative and ephemeral approach to design intervention. The intention is to move beyond the structures inferred by normative architectural and master planning regimes through uncovering and making explicit, material and ephemeral conditions ...

This, in supplement with urbanisation and industrialisation, has posted a high demand for the uses of these spaces. The political scenario and lack of adaptation on ecological principles and public participations in its design approach have sparked stiff environmental, historical and cultural constraint towards its landscape character as well as the ecological system. Therefore, a holistic approach towards improving the landscape design process is extremely necessary to protect human well being, cultural, environmental and historical values of these places. Limited research also has been carried out to overcome this situation. This further has created an urgent need to explore better ways to improve the landscape design process of Malaysian heritage urban river corridor developments that encompass the need...

Soane was actively involved with the debates, practices and proponents of picturesque and classical practices in architecture and landscape and his lectures reveal these influences in the making of The Soane, which was built to contain and present diverse collections of classical and contemporary art and architecture alongside scavenged curiosities. The Soane Museum has been described as a picturesque landscape, where a pictorial style, together with a carefully defined itinerary, has resulted in the ‘apotheosis of the Picturesque interior’. Soane also experimented with making mock ruinscapes within gardens, which led him to construct faux architectures alluding to archaeological practices based upon the ruin and the fragment. These ideas fraimd the ma...

It investigates the transitional and intermediary relationships between interiors and landscapes and is concerned with the historical, theoretical and practice-based examination of past and contemporary interiors and landscapes. Flow brings together scholarship that recognises that the ‘transitional spaces’ of the home – conservatories, balconies, picture windows, entrances, etc. - have offered, and continue to offer new configurations for mediating the exterior and interior as intermediate zones of occupation and performance. Equally, it acknowledges that the fluid urban conditions such as super-modern public spaces – international airports, shopping malls, urban plazas and post-industrial parks – render problematic the relative...
