Productive Landscapes

Energy production protocols are the new global landscapes. This research calls for them for architecture, under the hypothesis that architecture has the power to organize ecologies, both natural and artificial, bringing them together, not one serving the other, or attacking each other, but constituting conglomerates that are impossible to discriminate. This integration must overcome the moralistic approach of romantic ideals of nature.

Contemporary ecologies are made up of production and destruction, organic material and machinery. Synchronicity, excessive extension, hermeticity, violent concentration of energy, are values ​​that landscape and mass production share. Through them, the emergence of new non-binary models is possible.

The objective of the study is the construction of artificial landscapes that contain projective ecologies derived from the study of energy production protocols, but whose objectives are much broader. The ultimate goal is the creation of a projective landscape that recognizes a contemporary discussion where the relationship between the natural and the artificial, as well as production and destruction, can be restarted. In this sense, the architectural project can argue with global production conglomerates and corporations, as well as with metropolitan governments. It is a project that operates by unveiling, and not by denouncing or being reactionary. An architectural organization that can handle heavy machinery and heavy nature, thanks to the vast ecologies of the late Anthropocene.
