- office for anthropocene landscapes
studio erde [german for soil, earth or planet] is a design agency, which works within a planetary modus operandi and a highly specific and earthly design language. It stands for radical approaches in revealing the complexities of todays intertwined urbanized landscapes and contested territories and engaging in them by developing an intiutive design approach for hybrid naturcultures and alternative spatial typologies towards a landscape architecture in the anthropocene.
-
studio erde works at the intersection of landscape architecture, ecology and urban design. The project scope ranges from the development of territorial strategies, speculative project ideas and narratives, up to spatial and object implementations and installations, constantly on the search for renewed expressions of alternative aesthetics of a Baukunst for and in the Anthropocene. We create and enhance beautifully strange places full of contradictions, webs of different lifeforms and vibrating materialities.
-
studio erde believes in the strength of a collaborative approach and working in networks with different disciplines, actors, and institutes to develop radical answers for the intertwined design challenges in our anthropocene world.
