Architecture and Landscape — Editor’s Note

Architecture and Landscape is where buildings stop being objects and start becoming terrain.

 

These projects treat topography, vegetation, climate, and horizon not as context but as collaborators. Architecture here does not sit on the land — it grows from it, frames it, or disappears within it. From houses carved into hillsides to pavilions that extend the logic of the ground itself, these works explore how design can choreograph a deeper dialogue between built form and the living landscape.

 

This relationship extends into subsurface systems, where architecture is shaped by energy infrastructures and resource flows — revealing how oil politics operates within underground architecture
.

 

This exploration unfolds across multiple layers — from the transformation of  landscape through infrastructure, to the redefinition of material systems , and the often unseen environmental costs  embedded within subterranean construction. Each perspective reveals a different dimension of how architecture is entangled with energy and resource flows.
