Field Office Workshops

The Field Office workshops are a collaboration for founding and supporting new site-specific practices. 

The workshops are for university design studios and emerging professional studios to explore new site-specific practices. Students and young practitioners, including architects, artists, ecologists, geographers, landscape architects, anthropologists, and urban designers, will develop new forms of grounded practice, from innovative digital methods to alternative approaches to design.

Participants work with landscapes impacted by change, recognising that new situated approaches are needed to address emerging challenges, from community action to climate justice. Employing combinations of digital technologies, material techniques, and social methods, the workshops aim to forge new landscape relations from the ground up. Following Donna Haraway, the workshops argue for “politics and epistemologies of location, positioning, and situating, where partiality and not universality is the condition of being heard to make rational knowledge claims.” [1]
