Dates For the final presentation of our thesis, we wanted to question the hierarchy of landscape architecture reviews by creating a space where critics and presenters were on equal footing to foster a conversation rather than a critique. As the project intends to become an activist endeavor, the exhibition became a medium to present the work to a broader public.
Following the narrative structure of the project, the exhibition is organized around three walls where the work is presented to the visitors. Act One and Act Two are presented as the evidence that collected the research and critique of the project. Act three is organized as an interactive wall activated by the moving drawings that reveal the project proposal on the site. The exhibition uses a variety of mediums to expand the forms of representation in the discipline of landscape architecture to expand the canon of the profession.
