DYNAMIC PATTERNS: PEG office of landscape + architecture
PEG office of landscape + architecture is an award-winning design and research office based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Founding partners Karen M’Closkey and Keith VanDerSys will be in Melbourne as part of the MSD Dean’s Lecture Series, where they will present a lecture and host an exhibition of their firm’s work.
They engage a variety of projects in terms of content, scale, and medium, ranging from immersive interior environments to large public spaces.
PEG’s work explores the relationship among digital media, fabrication technology and construction. Through new media and fabrication technologies, PEG’s work explores methods of systemic patterning to expand landscape’s expressive agency in the shaping of the public realm.
Their projects experiment with formal and temporal patterns; in all cases, these methods are used to craft variation in surface appearances, as well as participate in site functions, such as water collection, plant growth, and maintenance zones.
These incremental infrastructures have implications for more integrative thinking about natural systems in relatively dense urban environments and offer new expressive potential for landscape via new combinations of organic and inorganic materials.
The use of these tools and techniques has created a signature aesthetic, establishing PEG as part of the next generation in the field of landscape design.
