ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the interview conducted by Jonathon R. Anderson and Daniel H. Ortega. 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. Cross-disciplinary collaborations begin to situate innovations in landscape architecture more openly. The kinds of collaborations needed to deal with systemic externalities will allow for multiple disciplines to collaborate in ways that will inform practice. These collaborations will lead to new techniques and explorations in new modes of representations. To attempt to systematize or codify innovation is difficult because people cannot refer to bullet points, or develop a step-by-step approach to how one is, or becomes, innovative. The authors engage the dynamism of landscape without relinquishing design solely to analysis.
