“Farming has become a necessary part of my career. It’s allowed me to learn more about field making, irrigating, fertilizing, growing, and harvesting. These basic farming skills…create “deep forms” that are beautiful, high-performing, and functional.”
This week, Kongjian Yu of the Beijing-based landscape and architecture firm Turenscape delivered the annual Kenneth Frampton Lecture. His talk focused on how China’s traditional agricultural landscapes can inform the planning and design of large-scale ecological infrastructure in an era of climate change and globalization.
