Descriere program / Program description:
Immersive workshop on Land Art & Environmental Design
The diversity and uniqueness of the Icelandic landscape describe it as a sensitive and fragile territory of significant planetary ecological, heritage and aesthetic value. A dynamic landscape in which physical, biological and cultural interactions constantly shape this unique territory.
In-situ experiential workshop exploring Iceland’s natural environment: water, in the form of glaciers, rivers, geysers and lakes; fire, embodied by volcanoes, lava fields and basalt rocks; air, shaped by intense wind, open sky horizons and pure northern atmosphere; and earth, characterized by extensive meadows, rugged mountains and fertile wetlands.
An experiential workshop focused on exploring, understanding and conceptualizing the territory through various land art and nature-based design approximations. This includes sensory immersion in Andakill scenery, where participants explore and develop projects that foster coexistence between humans and the Icelandic natural environment.
The site-oriented workshop is proposed as a cross-disciplinary approach, led by practitioners and academics in the national and international context, aimed at students from diverse fields.
Learning Outcomes
- Knowledge about Icelandic landscapes and their unique characteristics.
- Approaches for integrating artistic expression with environmental sustainability.
- Methods for working collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
- Strategies for engaging with and responding to the natural landscape in design.
- Techniques for creating site-specific Land Art using natural materials.
