Anyone viewing what we call a "landscape" from a distance will
recognise that it is an artefact, a habitat created by humans as
part of our built environment. Designing this realm carefully is a
discipline that is taking on increasing importance today. Gunter
Vogt, with his practice in VOGT Landscape Architects and as a
professor at ETH Zurich, has developed a set of tools and a working
method that incorporate all the different dimensions of the
human-designed environment, from the large-scale landscape to the
small-scale urban public space. 'Mutation and Morphosis' looks at
all the many aspects involved in the collective process of
designing and shaping landscapes, from planning to implementation.
The model as a tool and the collection as a driving force are
illustrated on the basis of an astonishing variety of topics. In
theoretical discussions and the examination of detailed dossiers of
facts on the ground, a trajectory is traced: from the emergence of
new landscapes as a result of climate change to the migration of
the wolf to Central Europe, from the impact of invasive plants to
the study of geological formation processes. The panorama that
unfolds gives us insights into the broad context that landscape
architects must consider in their work, exemplified by the
outstanding projects realized by VOGT.
