Focus week III: What is landscape?

[Thursday 27th January]

4. Sam Johnston, Gustafson Porter

He joined Gustafson Poster and working as a part-time lecture and studio lead at the landscape at Kingston University. So far as I know the Gustafson Poster is well known for winning of the competition to select the design of Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde park.

He talked about landscape is out there and in here.


  • Out there: an understanding of the other

  • In here: a awareness of self (character, emotion, opinion, collectives, cultrure, history, future, past, present)


  • No human world: natural system, habitates, flora, fauna

  • What I feel?: taste, smell, see


  • What is it means: understanding

Hooke Park: How do people interact to forest?


human consciousness and open reality.


Milan city life= ecology+ aesthetics


Woolwich Square: The concept is " Ballroom and Garden", the aime is to provide two new spaces for community use throughout the day and year.
