Land as Interface positions landscape as a living framework where human activity and natural systems intersect, overlap, and co-evolve. Rather than treating the site as a passive backdrop, the work understands land as an active interface—one that mediates movement, ecology, climate, and social interaction.
Through carefully structured ground planes, planting strategies, and interconnected open-space networks, the projects explore how landscape can organize program while supporting environmental processes such as water management, microclimate regulation, and seasonal change. Materials, topography, and vegetation are deployed as performative elements that guide use, frame views, and adapt over time.
By reframing land as an interactive medium, the work emphasizes responsiveness and temporality—spaces are designed to shift with growth, weather, and occupation. The landscape becomes a social and ecological infrastructure, simultaneously supporting public life and environmental performance, and revealing the ground itself as a critical design interface between people, architecture, and natural systems.
