Architecture in Relation

28 February — 7 March 2025

What’s the role of an architect within networked thinking of a living ecology? How can architecture be practiced responding to what is already there, in an entangled relation with a place? As part of Thinking with a garden residency series, we invited Studio Inscape to ponder these questions together with us, to bring their experiences and inquiries into bioregional design, to further experiment with how eco-philosophical theory can translate into practice, how to think the interconnectedness of actors, materials, landscapes and their inhabitants with an intention to story the place of Foresta-in-becoming with architectural potentials.

This residency is a beginning for a longer-term engagement with this place and collaboration between Studio Inscape and Foresta Collective, unfolding as part of our long-term inquiry into how can architecture(s) facilitate restoration of bonding with the landscape, and help to embody and enact ecological and regenerative intentions of Foresta.

Architects-in-residence

Studio Inscape was founded by Eileen Stornebrink and Willie Vogel. Trained as architects, Studio Inscape aims to translate eco-philosophical theory into practice. The studio sees architecture as a continuation of and attunement with its environment, with the aim of creating interior landscapes or "inscapes." The team works at the crossroads of research and fabrication, exploring spatial strategies, experiences, installations, and architectural projects.
