Sympoietic Landscapes are co-created by humans and the more-than-human. As humans are becoming continuously estranged to nature and the production landscapes we depend on, a need for establishing new multi-species relations have become ever more important. This project questions the role of the architect in planning of our production landscapes and facilitating a place where we can land together.

The living fence as a connective tissue of the production landscape
The living fence as Biodiversity corridors
The living fence as accessways / hiking paths
The living fence providing shelter for new types of crops
The living fence as Habitat for the more-than-human

A starting point was choosing 4 species that the production landscape would be investigated through. These species are chosen for possible collaborations and alliances for mutual benefit as to both find habitat and space for the human and more-than-human.

Juryen sagde: "This innovative project is tackling the wicked challenges of how to transform the large-scale agricultural production landscapes in Denmark. Based on thorough research, the project skilfully employs detailed drawings as a strategic medium for how to design, communicate and include a diversity of actors in the proposed environments of sympoietic landscapes of coexistence. The project presents an outstanding talent for proposing how the profession of architecture can begin to understand landscapes as an entanglement of geological, historical, cultural, and ecological conditions and the ways in which architects can create more diverse and sustainable futures.
