| + | Reading technology or reading nature? | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Food forest - farming like the forest - perennial plants, complete diet farmed all year around, systems approach - design science from a holistic perspective; | ||
| + | * more biodiversity, | ||
| + | * low maintenance system | ||
| + | * Layers of the forest (overstory, understory, shrubs, herbs, ground-cover, | ||
| + | * biodiversity - including plants, animals, insects, microbes… - in an equilibrium; | ||
| + | * healthy soil (springiness of forest soil) | ||
| + | * Too often we design agricultural spaces in order to adapt to machinery we use | ||
| + | * [[http:// | ||
| + | * Food forests exist more in tropical/ | ||
| + | * How do you design a food forest for a city scape? In recreation areas, plants that aren’t commercially viable, that are difficult to harvest industrially | ||
| + | * [[http:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tech requirements: | ||
| + | * touch earth lightly | ||
| + | * broaden our senses, be aware it shapes the way we behave | ||
| + | * help ppl reconnect to nature | ||
| + | * be amazed with and learn about the environment, | ||
| + | * not a substitution, | ||

| + | * Deep Longing to own a piece of land | ||
| + | * Urban agriculture is not going to solve the food problem, but it points to a DIY approach - hands, heart & head, food (consumption), | ||
| + | * Relationship between food and landscape | ||
| + | * Olmsted, Frederick Law - landscape architecture (19th ct), Ian McHarg (1970s) - " | ||
| + | * dutch way of making land - engineers, farmers, politicians, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Landscape Machines | ||
| + | * complex systems including the landscape and technology - yes we intervene, but the ecosystem responds to it with more vividness | ||
| + | * post doomsday landscapes | ||
| + | * " | ||
| + | * " | ||
| + | * technology in a landscape - should be sublime - regeneration, | ||
| + | * ("any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from nature" | ||

| + | Naval Gazing (is navel gazing) | ||
| + | * test facility seaweed centre on Tessel | ||
| + | * nutrients from the Rhine can sustain substantial primary production in the north sea - could it be converted in seaweed biomass? - growing brown seaweed in the winter - it can clean up the ocean, useful in cosmetics… in springtime other organisms would take over… a theory at this point | ||
| + | * how to make a sea garden? a system where humans and nature co-exist | ||
| + | * BUT: it isn’t easy to cultivate seaweed in the north sea… - the north sea is a very hostile environment… | ||
| + | * Rachel Carson "The sea around us" (1951) - cybernetics and ecosystems - interconnectedness of things | ||
| + | * Harvesting the sea - started in the romantic period | ||
| + | * Knowing more about strange environments - also allows to exploit it better (for entertainment, | ||
| + | * Inspirations: | ||
| + | * Habiton - Man-made future habitat moved by the wind - it tumbles through the ocean and collects organisms/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Miserable Machines | ||
| + | * Differences between technology and living organisms - | ||
| + | * " | ||
| + | * Hybridity is a slippery slope - sometimes things should be respected for what they are rather than being forced to ' | ||
