AA Landscape Urbanism contribution to the Venice Bienale 2014



How does AA Landscape Urbanism perform Research through Design? What is the role of concepts such as Landscape and Territory in this regard? Read here Clara Oloriz and Jose Alfredo Ramirez essay ‘Land Formations/Tectonic Grounds’, part of the Architectural Design Research Symposium and forthcoming book originated last November at the Palazzo Pisani Santa Marina  within the New Zealand pavilion, a collateral event of last year Venice Bienale 2014 .


In the essay Clara Oloriz and Jose Alfredo Ramirez ( Studio Master and Co-Director)describes the praxis of AA Landscape Urbanism as a model  for a Design by Research programme and the way in which Landscape and Territory are understood as fundamental concepts for its development.

Series: Landscape Urbanism Lecture Series 2015


Date: 19/March/2015
Time: 18:00
Venue: 32 SFB Bedford Square, Architectural Association

 All welcome


In the context of the crisis of representation, (or in the context of the crisis of traditional cartography), this lecture considers, the need to establish a fresh foundation for cartography. The task of becoming cartographers implies a return to the possibility of deducing the value of territory and the ways of establishing a discourse with it, on the basis of experience. In this way, contemporary art could serve as a model.


Martí Peran is a critic and curator and is also a faculty member of the University of Barcelona. A member of the editors team of Roulotte, he frequently contributes writing to a number of newspapers and art magazines.

AA Landscape Urbanism Series 2015: Teresa Stoppani, Invisible Maps, 5th March Architectural Association

Invisible Maps


AA Landscape Urbanism Series 2015 present:


Teresa Stoppani, Invisible Maps,


5th March, Architectural Association,


The talk presents excerpts from an ongoing exploration of the process of mapmaking, proposing the use of cartography as a veritable “project” that constructs realities while often remaining concealed in forms of apparently objective presentations and representations. The definitions of the conventions of cartographic representation are themselves the product of an intellectual project that is deeply embedded in the time, society and political contexts of their production. The move away from the figural opens up a questioning of the relations between the object and its representations, which directly questions the nature and the stability of the object itself. Mapping is thus proposed as a dynamic form of making. The talk will draw examples, images and stories from architecture and the visual arts to seek the invisible content of maps and explore the notion of critical cartographies.


Teresa Stoppani is Professor of Architecture at Leeds Beckett University, where she directs the Leeds School of Architecture and the PhD in Architecture programme. An architect and architectural theoretician, Teresa has taught in the UK, Italy and Australia, and lectured and published internationally. She is currently working on the book X Unorthodox Ways to Rethink the City of Architecture (Routledge, 2016).
