From living handbag to moving landscape

Living handbag is also called as woolly pockets, which can be planted, watered and maintained just like any traditional gardening container. From this website (http://www.woollypocket.com/qa.php) you could learn more about it. As the picture shows, the pocket vegetation could accompany with people's activity. It inspired me to think about the moving landscape. Transportation could become some sort of medium to load the landscape. If the Static landscape could be connected with moving one, it may be easier to form into large area of network. What's more, the combination between people's activity and landscape growth will have more potential value. To spread out, besides the landscape, people's activity could be used as an interesting medium in future.

The Public Eye L’Oeil Public is a feature of the seminar course, ARCH432, offered at USC’s School of Architecture by visiting professor, Victor Jones. Set against looming geopolitical crises, the design discipline must be equipped to address the cultural and social entropy of a world in flux. The urgency and scope of instability demands the consideration of alternative methods, models and products beyond the reach of conventional standards and means.

"Architecture is a media to participate in social reform, a device to enhance urban transformation and the mixture of cultural differences."
Qingyun Ma, Dean of the School of Architecture
Della and Harry MacDonald Dean's Chair

Focusing on cities and the public realm, the The Public Eye L’Oeil Public provides an expanded opportunity to gain exposure to an evolving arena of global thought and actions distinguished by enterprising social, technological, and ecological design initiatives. Seen through the lens of public space, The Public Eye l’Oeil Public will identify alternative models and emerging efforts by architects, artists, designers, landscape architects and planners as they intervene to cultivate enriched local and global environments. The Public Eye l’Oeil Public will feature innovative design approaches conceived to impact the organizational and institutional structure of cities and the people that inhabit them. These presentations will expose the burgeoning potency of interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and collective thinking that is amplifying the capacity of design to influence the human experience.
