The Density Studio was taught in the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the National University of Singapore in semester one (August-November) of 2023 by Victoria Jane Marshall. As seen in the ten individual projects in this report, the Density Studio students demonstrate tangible and creative ideas for hybrid, urban-rural futures.
A new tool for analyzing urban land cover that integrates design practices and ecological knowledge for understanding cities as complex, patchy, and dynamic systems This atlas is a unique conceptual tool to describe and analyze cities as complex systems, using a new, hybrid approach to urban land cover classification. As an impetus to bring ecologists and urban designers together, it builds on over a decade of shared knowledge from the Baltimore Ecosystem Study to inspire ecologically motivated design practice.
