DESCRIPTION:Bas Smets\nWe are happy to announce the lecture by Bas Smets a
 s part of the series Habitat & Environment within the course of Superstudi
 o. The lecture is moderated by Prof. Van Gerrewey.\n\nBas Smets has a back
 ground in landscape architecture\, civil engineering and architecture. He 
 founded his firm in Brussels in 2007 and has since completed projects in m
 ore than 12 countries with his team of twenty architects and landscape arc
 hitects.\nStarting from a precise reading of the existing land\, his proje
 cts reveal a landscape\, visible yet unseen. These projects vary in scale 
 from territorial visions to infrastructural landscapes\, from large parks 
 to private gardens\, from city centres to film sets.\nBas Smets’ realise
 d projects include the park of Thurn & Taxis and the Saint-Gilles Plaza in
  Brussels\; the public space around the Trinity Tower in Paris La Défense
 \, the Sunken Garden and the Mandrake Hotel in London\, the Himara Waterfr
 ont in Albania and the Parc des Ateliers in Arles.\nEach of these projects
  is part of an encompassing research into the possible roles of landscape 
 projects. The aim is to invent ‘Augmented Landscapes’ by using the log
 ics of nature.\nThese augmented landscapes produce a new climate while cre
 ating new atmospheres. The collaboration with artists and scientists takes
  a central role in this research.
