Dean's Lecture Series 2016 - Karen M'Closkey

DYNAMIC PATTERNS Karen M’Closkey and Keith VanDerSys PEG office of landscape + architecture, Philadelphia Tuesday, 2 August 2016 Theatre B117, Melbourne School of Design Dynamic Patterns will discuss the work of Philadelphia-based PEG office of landscape + architecture. M'Closkey and VanDerSys will examine a range of projects and techniques that enable a multivalent, multilayered understanding of pattern as both expression and shaping influence of environmental processes. The projects range from small-scale fabrications that explore the capacity of geometry to articulate site functions, such as water collection, to computational modeling and hydrodynamic simulations. M'Closkey and VanDerSys's work explores the relationship among digital media, fabrication technology and construction. Karen M’Closkey and Keith VanDerSys are founding partners of PEG office of landscape + architecture. Established in 2004, PEG is an award-winning design and research office based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They engage a variety of projects in terms of content, scale, and medium, ranging from immersive interior environments to large public spaces. PEG’s work explores the relationship among digital media, fabrication technology and construction. Through new media and fabrication technologies, PEG’s work explores methods of systemic patterning to expand landscape’s expressive agency in the shaping of the public realm. Their projects experiment with formal and temporal patterns; in all cases, these methods are used to craft variation in surface appearances, as well as participate in site functions, such as water collection, plant growth, and maintenance zones. These incremental infrastructures have implications for more integrative thinking about natural systems in relatively dense urban environments and offer new expressive potential for landscape via new combinations of organic and inorganic materials. The use of these tools and techniques has created a signature aesthetic, establishing PEG as part of the next generation in the field of landscape design. http://www.peg-ola.com
