"A Thicket and a Palm at a Street" is an installation conceived in collaboration with the Berlin-based practice Something Fantastic that proposes pausing to consider what already exists. Through a specific framing, the work transforms a familiar landscape into something strange, inviting us to reflect on how we relate to the environment we inhabit.
Green Infrastructure is a landscape planning and design method based on creating a network of blue-green landscapes (vegetation and water systems) that perform infrastructural functions while providing ecosystem services to cities. In green infrastructure, design is conceived based on the biogeophysical potential and limitations of the landscape, and water management is carried out through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) such as rain gardens, bioswales, vegetated infiltration basins, and wetlands, which adapt existing infrastructure to the hydrological cycle and other ecological processes.

The International Architecture and Ethnography Seminar is a space for intersection and encounter for those of us who study space and meaning. At the crossroads of architecture, anthropology, geography, urbanism, and sociology, we gather around the fire to consider new ways of approaching territorial phenomena. What are the relationships between ethnography and architecture? What are the scopes and challenges of new technologies and spatial research methods?
