Günther Vogt - Landscape as an Attitude
How should the principles of the urban landscape be understood and what possibilities does this environment offer to the designer? Understanding landscape in terms of its archetype entails going out into nature. In Switzerland extreme geological phenomena are as omnipresent as they are self-evident, and their secrets are obscured by their very familiarity. In England, however, the geology lies hidden in the landscape in a more subtle way. It has to be consciously discovered, traversed and discerned beneath the surface. Using examples from both Switzerland and England, Landscape architect and founder of Vogt Case Studio, Günther Vogt highlights differences in designs and similarities in current projects’ processes.
