No Man’s Land?
The Bartlett School of Architecture, 2020-2021
2019 was dominated by wildfires and school-children raising awareness of the climate emergency; 2020 by a zoonosis wreaking havoc on the world’s health systems and plunging us into manifold and complex uncertainties. Studio 5 was taught in the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic with projects spanning across London and China, where the students were located and could conduct local site visits. Under the theme No-Man’s Land? the Master of Landscape Architecture studio encouraged students to take a radical and speculative approach to the lived environment. Seeking new design approaches towards sustainability, carbon sequestration and multispecies coexistence, they explored how diverse urban wastelands, neglected spaces, and derelict former industrial sites can become incubators of more-than-human communities through inclusive landscape designs.
