Atlas of Atmospheres: Exploring Emerging Landscapes of the Water and Nature Park

The starting point is the ongoing work by Aarhus Municipality to implement 11 new water- and nature parks on the urban outskirts with the major aim of helping the city safeguard its vital groundwater resources.

To explore the emerging landscapes of the water- and nature parks, Studio 1F used the Aarhus River Valley and its wider watershed as a real-world ‘landscape laboratory’ for 1:1 experimentations. Forest interventions, walks through the watershed, model-making, drawings, cartography, notes, and recordings formed the initial foundations of the studio. They focused on embodiment and immersion to build openness and curiosity toward the site, enabling them to envision new realities for the water- and nature park.

The Aarhus River is 42km long from source to sea, and its watershed drains an area of 340km2.

This is the critical zone of the semester assignment.
