Immersive Environments: Media, Architecture and Landscape
“This lecture will explore two overlapping and timely questions central to my teaching and practice. How can designers representing two allied disciplines—architecture and landscape—work together to create sustainable environments that integrate buildings and sites? What will be the impact of information technologies on the spaces of our daily life, both public and private? In response, my talk will champion a new cross-disciplinary design approach that combines architecture, landscape and new media to create immersive multi-sensory environments that instigate meaningful human interactions in both actual and virtual space.” – Joel Sanders
