“Ideally, we do want to draw people into the landscape… I think it’s a bit easier in public spaces or more urbanised areas…having those pockets (within mass buildings), it’s quite easy to escape from the hustle and bustle”

- E. Hoang (2020)

Often, when architects and designers are approached to design architecture, one of the general requirements we would hear include ‘blend into the landscape’ or ‘incorporate it nicely into the landscape’ - but what does that mean for us as designers? In this episode, Eden and I explore projects that perfectly reflect these common questions as well as understanding a little bit more about landscape architecture.
