The project’s bold philosophical posture – investigating the roles of architecture, landscape design, and urban planning and their constraints by the necessity to allow human existence – was greatly appreciated and welcomed by the members of the jury. The design proposal is a manifesto in its own right. It frames a discourse on potential forms of relationship between human activity and the natural environment, offering strategies for understanding architecture as a form of action in a symbiotic rapport with nature, without succumbing to romantic and pastoral notions of the “natural” – and thereby accepting its entropic properties.
