Groundscape Architecture Design Lab, re-thinking cities underground
by Dominique Perrault , Juan Fernández-Andrino , Ignacio Ferrer Rizzo , Richard Nguyen- 0.0
11 Weeks
We simply cannot be satisfied with only developing the city on top of the city. We must also build the city under the city. Groundscape is a neologism resulting from the combination two words: ground and landscape. Founded by prof. Since 1985 Prof. Dominique Perrault has designed more than 55 Groundscape projects over a period of almost 30 years....
