Little Island - Designed by @officialheatherwickstudio " @littleislandnyc, a new public park and performance venue situated above the Hudson River in New York City officially opens to the public today. Designed as a haven for people and wildlife, it is a green oasis, held above the water by sculptural planters engineered by @arupgroup. Working with landscape designers @mathewsnielsen the pots are filled with more than a hundred different species of indigenous trees and plants, which encourage biodiversity. The park will provide New Yorkers and visitors from around the world with a unique green space unlike any other in the city." 📸 by @timothyschenck . ⭕ What do you think about this design? 🔻Tag your Architect Friends! . ❌Turn ON Post Notifications to see new Contents.❗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Follow @archdlofficial for more! 🖤 Tag #archdl or DM your works for Featuring! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #thearchiologist #archolution #archihub #instaarch #architectureonpaper #koozarch #architecturestudent #showitbetter #wisearchi #illustrarch #next_top_architects #landscapefirst #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscapeurbanism #urbandesign #instaarch #art #archidaily #actofmapping #landscapearchitecture #landscapearchrendering #landscapehunter #landscapedesign (at Little Island NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAdNUWshLD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Repost @landscape.first ・・・ Chapel of the Earth (Capilla de la Tierra), Cabrera Arqs., Chicxulub Pueblo, Yucatán, #Mexico, 2020 . The Chapel of the Earth is located on the border between a rural housing development and a small town in the interior of Yucatán. Without wanting to impose a religious landmark that was part of the housing development, it was proposed a meeting point for all the residents of the area. It blends in, disappearing from the immediate #landscape and acting as a border element between the two territorial systems. It is intended to be a place of #reflection, #silence and #prayer, as well as having an intrinsic contact with #nature. It does not intend to impose a lesson in space, on the contrary, it invites you to take possession of it depending on the moment, the climate, the light and the time . . La Cappella della Terra si trova al confine tra un complesso residenziale rurale e una piccola città nell'interno dello Yucatán. Non si voleva imporre un punto di riferimento religioso che facesse parte del complesso, ma un punto di incontro per tutti i residenti della zona. Si fonde nel #paesaggio, scomparendo, e funge da elemento di confine tra i due sistemi territoriali. Vuole essere un luogo di #riflessione, #silenzio e #preghiera, oltre ad avere un contatto intrinseco con la #natura. Non intende imporre la sua presenza nello spazio, anzi, invita a prenderne possesso a seconda del momento, del clima, della luce e del tempo . . #chapenoftheearth #capilladelatierra #chicxulub #yucatan #meetingpoint #chapel #cappella #chiesa #church #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #landscapelovers #landscapefirst #architetturadelpaesaggio #arquitecturadelpaisaje #arquitecturadelpaisatge #landschaftsarchitektur #architecturedupaysage @cabreraarqs @enriquecabreraarq Photo by @tamarauribeph (en Cabrera Arqs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmEBKTgOXN/?igshid=1kozxmjd157fe

Week Four

Readings:

1: John Dixon Hunt, Reading and Writing the Site

2: Rebecca Solnit, The Orbits of Earthly Bodies 

Questions for Reading 1:

1. What is second nature? 

Cultural landscapes ie, infrastructure, bridges, fields, man's attempt to control nature and make it habitable. You could call second nature - infrastructure/cultural landscapeFirst nature is the untamed wilderness

2. What is third nature? 

Bringing back first nature as we as humans try to recreate the wilderness in out backyards such as gardens. Third natures are reflective of gardens, which extend beyond the cultural landscape. An environment where nature and art collaborate. 

3. What does John Dixon Hunt say is the main point he is trying to make when he brings up the terms, first, second and third nature, What do these terms tell us about the human relation to nature? 

We are always trying to change it and tame it. Process nature for our own This tells us that humans' relation to nature only has some control over it, humans will provoke this collaboration between the environment and controlled art, turning this into  an artform of its own. Benefiting from this as they see the relationship that as humans encountering the first nature, they have always tried to tame and control it. 

4. What is the picturesque?

An example of how humans have listened to the needs of perhaps an unappealing space. Picturesque definitions are typically pleasing to the eye. An aesthetic idealistic garden style established in New england. An idealistic style projecting grand views. The attempts to make landscapes appear as if they had arrived from a 17th century painting. 

5. What is Sublime?

The awe-inspiring, whereas picturesque romtes asymmetry , crumbling ruins and gardens spring from within, sublime gardens harnessed symmetry and order. There was a clash between these ideals. 

6. How does Dixon define the garden ?

Dixon defines gardens as third nature. Gardens are always coming to terms with the first and second natures. A product of our relationship to the world. They are a part of our social relationships to space. 

Questions for Reading 2:

7. What is the irony at the heart of the peace? 

The irony is that although holding to the rural environments, she found that everything she needed she had to get into a car to get to some infrastructure.  

8. What are some of the common illusions that we have about living or holidaying in the countryside?

Some of the common illusions is that we can go the countryside to escape the hustle of the big city

9. What are ranchettes?

Ranchettes are smaller properties that are self-contained in rural environments. They reflect a distancing from working together in communities, instead isolating themselves.

10. What is the “new urbanism” ?

A step towards more environmentally friendly urban environments. Walkable communities that support a wide range of job types. Human scale urban design. 

11. According to Solnit, how have we tended to define nature? What’s wrong with this way of defining nature?

Soleint states that “we think we’re natural when we’re looking at nature” so we tend to define nature as something to look at, a landscape that is natural, pure, and green. This idea of this type of environment like the idea of landscape, which needs parting and surveillance, this essential way of nature is quite challenging in that it  doesn’t take into consideration our forms as fragment of it. 
  
  

12. Why do you think Solnit compares city activities (shopping, people-watching) to hunting and gathering in the wilderness? Why do you think she says that New York City might be the most natural space in all of America? What is she trying to do to the way we think of cities?

Solint states that , “If you think of yourself as a species, the question arises of what your natural habitat is: it should be a place where you can forage, where your body is at home, where your scale is adequate, where your rites and sustenance are situated.” She compares city activities to hunting and gathering in the wilderness as he is wanting us to assess the way we look at and comprehend urban settings as that which is manmade and ‘unnatural’ as possibly the utmost natural human atmosphere one can experience as in suburbs to just get into you car but in a city like new york you are forced to share space while complete strangers creating the connection .  

13. What’s the problem with the term “pedestrian-scale”?

The problem with this term is that is doesn’t reflect vehicular transportation, therefore it may not be the greatest suitable way to reflect the balance. Solnit implies that human-scale is seeing as “humans are pedestrians when not fitted with vehicular prosthetics.”  
  

14. Why do you think Solnit included a found quote from a Pottery Barn catalogue as her epigraph? What does the epigraph tell us about the point she is trying to make in the essay?

Solnit might of included this quote to highlight her empathy for the landscape, though at the similarly the support of her home and usual environment as the urban.
