Mutation and Morphosis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2019
Anyone viewing what we call a "landscape" from a distance will recognize that it is an artifact, a habitat created by humans as part of our built environment. This fascinating book examines the collective process of designing and shaping landscapes, from planning to implementation. In theoretical discussions and detailed dossiers every facet of landscape design is covered: from the emergence of new landscapes as a result of climate change to the migration of the wolf to Central Europe, from the impact of invasive plants to the study of geological formation processes. These are contextualized by the outstanding projects realized by VOGT Landscape Architects based in Zurich.
The publication includes talks between G nther Vogt and experts from various fields in art and science, as well as contributions by artists Julien Charri re, Olafur Eliasson, Andreas Greiner, Roni Horn, Marguerite Humeau, Dafi K hne and Christian Vogt.

Descriere
Anyone viewing what we call a “landscape” from a distance will recognize that it is an artifact, a habitat created by humans as part of our built environment. Designing this realm carefully is a discipline that is taking on increasing importance today. Günter Vogt, with his practice in VOGT Landscape Architects and as a professor at ETH Zürich, has developed a set of tools and a working method that incorporate all the different dimensions of the human-designed environment, from the large-scale landscape to the small-scale urban public space.
Mutation and Morphosis looks at all the many aspects involved in the collective process of designing and shaping landscapes, from planning to implementation. The model as a tool and the collection as a driving force are illustrated on the basis of an astonishing variety of topics. In theoretical discussions and the examination of detailed dossiers of facts on the ground, a trajectory is traced: from the emergence of new landscapes as a result of climate change to the migration of the wolf to Central Europe, from the impact of invasive plants to the study of geological formation processes. The panorama that unfolds gives us insights into the broad context that landscape architects must consider in their work, exemplified by the outstanding projects realized by VOGT.
