Landscape Encounters

|

News

Landscape encounters in the Middle East are shaped by the relationship between architecture, the desert environment, seasonal changes, and gatherings of people around wadis and oases.

The context of the desert landscape guides movement, views, and experiences through space and time. These encounters define identity through the careful planting and positioning of trees, the experience of places, and the succession of scenography across the landscape.

 

The interplay between evolution, wildlife, erosion, and ecological opportunities within dry landscapes reveals the changing character of desert territories. 

The landscape of a region becomes a memory, where its improvement and regeneration create the identity of the future.
