This project investigates the complex interplay between natural geomorphological processes and mechanical manipulation, exploring how large-scale fans actively alter the morphology of shifting dune systems. Through the use of advanced parametric and systemic design tools, the landscape is conceived as a dynamic, continuously evolving field, in which artificial interventions operate as agents of transformation rather than static impositions. The controlled modulation of wind patterns generates ongoing reconfigurations of dune formations, producing a terrain defined by instability, feedback, and temporal change.
Elevated pathways are introduced as precise infrastructural elements traversing this mutable ground, establishing a deliberate contrast between the volatility of the landscape and the calibrated geometry of circulation. Designed to host an ultramarathon, these paths intensify the relationship between body, effort, and terrain, challenging endurance athletes through constantly shifting topographic conditions. The project proposes a synthetic landscape in which natural forces and mechanical systems are inseparably intertwined, reframing landscape architecture as the design of processes, behaviors, and interactions over time rather than fixed forms.
