Many processes pass through the grade of the ground, relating to water, energy, ecology and vegetation, with trees bridging above- and below grade. Organic matter is created in the ground, carbon is captured and stored there, and it is the habitat of various species. If we, as landscape architects, aim to incorporate ecology and hydrology into project development, the design phase must incorporate a thinking of above- and below grade as one.]]> https://landezine.com/deep-landscape/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/wild-playgrounds/ https://landezine.com/wild-playgrounds/#comments Wed, 30 Oct 2024 08:31:22 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=112385 Almost every park needs a playground area and children’s playgrounds are one of the toughest typologies to design.
