In the exhibition Climates of landscape, Bass Smets explores the way to rethink ecosystems and our relationship to the environment.
Climates of Landscape at LUMA Arles brings together landscape architecture, design and ecological thinking to demonstrate how urban ecologies can be conceived and constructed. Bass Smets explores in the exhibition the way to rethink ecosystems and our relationship to the environment. For Smets, a city can be understood as an aggregation of artificial climates.
The Belgian pavilion at the Biennale Architettura presented Building Biospheres, curated by landscape architect Bas Smets in collaboration with neurobiologist Stefan Mancuso. The Flanders Architecture Institute was commissioner of Building Atmospheres. In the slipstream of the exhibition VAi published the Building Biospheres catalogue. The book expands on the questions raised by the exhibition, bringing together perspectives from architecture, neurobiology, artificial intelligence, botany and philosophy.
The exhibition runs until November 2.
