(Re)presenting landscapes of mobility

In collaboration with Oslo Centre of Critical Architectural Studies (OCCAS) and the Oslo Triennale, the Routes project has organised an open conversation on landscapes and mobility. Three landscape scholars will take part in the conversation: the landscape theorist Christophe Girot from ETH Zurich, architect and landscape historican Alessandra Ponte, from Université de Montréal, and the literary scholar Janike Kampevold Larsen, post doc at The Oslo School of Architecture and Design. Contemporary representations of landscapes are arguably still concerned with the beautiful, operating within a photographic documentary aesthetics. This talk starts with the question of how to represent and still maintain what is essential to the landscapes of mobility? What terminology could be introduced into the discourse on both territories and contemporary uses and modulations of urban and rural environments? The talk takes place on the 29th September at The Oslo School of Architecture and Design. For the program, go to www.aho.no
