LANDSCAPE AS MEDIUM
Landscape is a result of cultural interpretation and the buildup of representational sediments throughout time. In a period of climate change, art is connected with nature, which lead that many artist turn to focus on landscape.[12]
“Like any text, landscape architecture is conceptual, schematizing Nature and humankind's place within it, but at the same time it differs from other landscape representations in that it operates through and within the medium of landscape itself.”

"From a landscape architectural point of view, a major aspect of landscape is that it is not only a phenomenon of analysis, but is more significantly something to be made, or designed"[13]
Landscape is also an integrative medium, and landscape narrative has potential in landscape architecture practice in the pre-design phase. By condensing complex vision and analysis into understandable and engaging storylines, explicit consideration of different landscape narratives can inform the design process.
During design process, the drawing and expression of the landscape can still be emphasized as a narrative. This reminds me of the need to pay attention to the expression of time and space in the drawing of landscape architecture.
Making and designing the landscape, I want to creat spaces represent various element of nature and huminity. Let landscape narrate itself to visitors, which requires a close connection of perception in design.

This is a sketch about the design idea, the different perspectives in the background represent the spaces on different layers of the landscape, and the pencil sketch in the middle expresses the design proposal. The different landscape spaces travel through different layers to form a series of narrative spaces to understand peatlandfrom different perspectives .
