This book is a reflection on contemporary computational design thinking at the intersection of
architecture urban design and landscape architecture in a time marked by complex challenges
like climate change urbanization and population growth. Based on a critical rethinking of the
notion of ground and the relation between the manmade and the natural environment an
understanding of architecture as regenerative practice is proposed. It aims at a built
environment as landscape at an architecture of prosthetic nature. The design approach is
illustrated by a number of design experiments conducted within a studio setting and
complemented by a series of conversations with leading experts on sustainable design and
landscape architecture.
