Role: Concept, Design, Illustration

Prospect Over Landscape is the imagination of a new kind of landscape architecture where the design is restricted to the autonomous machinery that will be operating on the site. Instead of being dictated by aesthetics or unreliable predictions, the site will transform constantly based on the coding of machines that are able to collect environmental data and cross reference it with the needs of the vegetation.

This project was a fictional response to a non-fictional brief for phasing a post-industrial site into a residential development. Instead of polished renderings and site plans, our main product was a set of vector drawings of imaginary machines. The machines were distorted Frankenstein’s made from blueprints of contemporary machinery. We wanted to evoke a technical, unfinished aesthetic of a project that is constantly in planning mode and has an ever-changing, uncertain outcome.
