What Do Landscapes Say?’ explores the ways in which art and critical artistic research might inform the development of diverse urban environments through looking at landscapes.
Our approach to the landscape trickles down into the development of the cities and societies we live in. The art of noticing relevant details and individual stories outside the frameworks of urban planning can be a valuable resource for learning about the diversity in our landscapes and societies, where utilitarian approaches to vastly different landscapes nowadays share a common ground.
