Abstract Details

2014, Master of Landscape Architecture, Ohio State University, Landscape Architecture.
This thesis project problematizes the popularly held distinction that agriculture and urban development cannot occupy the same space. With the question “Can design mediate the tensions between agriculture, ecology and development?” in mind, a literature review of current thought within the landscape architecture discipline was conducted. This literature review focused on landscape urbanism and landscape infrastructure, key approaches that specifically focus on answering this question and related questions. In order to understand the application of these theoretical principles and their use in site design, a site case study is conducted on a region in South Korea called Cheorwon, where incoming development threatens to disrupt the regional character of a town on the edge of the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. As the case study reveals key areas of intervention, precedent studies are brought to bear on the process of generating solutions. The resulting catalogue of interventions, begins to address how theory, applied through the use of precedents can build a better understanding of the theory itself and its roles within the discipline.
