Overview
- Undertakes an examination of mountains and megastructures as interrelated phenomena, drawing on the multidisciplinary nature of architectural research
- Examines mountains and megastructures in an interchangeable way, uniquely negotiating the fixed boundaries of natural and artificial worlds to suggest a more complicated relationship between landscape and architecture
- Includes historical, speculative, literary, performative, geographic, visual, social and participatory investigations to contribute to the wider academic discourse on cultural and political landscapes, demonstrating the potential of architectural research in its broadest sense
