In celebration of JFA's 21st birthday last year, and following on from a drive and direction that the JFA Facebook page has been directing, is the notion 'between Building & Landscape'.
Much of this surfaces from my own dilemma in the division between design for landscape or building. Having trained in architecture, and then worked in landscape architecture by choice as an additional year of work experience between my degree in Architecture and the last two years of Diploma studies, i remember a conversation with in fact the Professor who interviewed me for my Diploma studies where i also considered a unit in landscape architecture. The Professor, i forget his name, but who directed the landscape studies at Edinburgh Uny, said to me what an interesting dilemma i was experiencing but how more interesting it would be to complete my architecture studies with this vein running through. It was sound advice, not least the looming 90s and Noughties recessions it would serve me in good stead being qualified in both.
I am launching with this Blog one of the JFA's Facebook postings which looks at the purety of the Icelandic landscape. This is to focus on 'pure landscape' before adding further Blogs via the FB page to see how buildings have both captivated and interfaced the division between the two. The first Posting Web reference for ‘pure landscapes’ as below, please do take a look a the below link which shows and captures a complete set of photos of the Icelandic landscape - this time devoid of architecture and building. Grateful thanks to Justin - Lauren Photo Blog for the borrow
