January 28 – Fabruary 25, 2006
Opening Reception
Saturday, January 28, 2006 » 6 – 9 pm
“Arche” means beginning or origin and “Scapes” reminds of the word landscape. This show presents examples of projects of the last ten years, some built and completed, others on paper. The common background to the work is its attempt to dissolve the traditional concepts of Architecture and Landscape. Landscape is a term connected with nature, while architecture is seen as artificial. These projects propose a new type of field that explores the interface of and connection between the natural and the artificial. Landscape creates the canvas, whether it is urban, rural, or otherwise, on which the architect’s ideas start to evolve.
