Landscape Studio
232 Landscape Studio challenged students to reconceptualise how we see, sense and measure landscape. Working in groups, students started off drawing and surveying the landscape from 10 paintings by Australian artists. Their worldviews are translated into spatial devices or measuring instruments that allowed the students to observe, draw and measure the landscape. Measuring devices include, a Robinson's scanner (named after the artist William Robinson), mechanical tracer, and wind powered drawing machine - we learn to draw the landscape with intimacy. Observing devices included a periscope that allowed users to experience light and darkness simultaneously, a headset that flattens a landscape, multilens glasses, a distorted view port to trace time, a panoramic viewing machine that produces absence, and a device that views landscape through water – we learn to see the landscape through design narrative and storytelling.
