Attended the Ambientes Urbanos; el reto de la sostenibilidad last week at Medellin's EAFIT University. Harvard Landscape Architecture's Christian Werthmann delivered a great talk on the new role that landscape design has in informal developments, like those that are so prominent and specific in Medellin. But the highlight was ARUP's Peter Head, who described a future where critical design improvements could be achieved by the adjacent positioning (even overlapping) of urban and agricultural precincts. His proposition was a welcome rejection of an idea I had become convinced of; extremely high density urban centres positioned in a sea of agro-monocultures. His concept acknowledged a model that values a patchwork of high density and agricultural landscapes. In the video you can see the same concepts at work retrofitting an English city center, from the block-scale up.
