BETTINA LAMM – Landscape notations

Sensing, drawing and reading place – a collective logbook exploration

Join a 2,5-hour workshop exploring the particular qualities of a landscape. Based on a sensory and performative logbook method, you are guided to position yourself, sense, observe, and record the site through drawings, diagrams, and notations.

You are invited to meet the landscape with openness and curiosity – without judging what is good or bad. The focus is on discovering materials, patterns, atmospheres, movements, and spatial characteristics through embodied experience.

First, we work individually and introspectively, then we regroup to share reflections. In this way, the logbook becomes both a tool for personal immersion and a collective way of understanding what makes a place unique.

ABOUT BETTINA LAMM

Bettina Lamm is a landscape architect MAA and Professor at the University of Copenhagen. Her work, in both theory and practice, explores the relationship between sensory landscapes, social space, and the ecological spatial practices that connect them.

She is particularly interested in how artistic and embodied approaches to urban and landscape space can open new ways of perceiving, interpreting, and collectively engaging with place. Her research also examines how aesthetic strategies can uncover the overlooked qualities of residual urban spaces through new site readings and experiential layers.

Bettina Lamm has collaborated with artistic platforms such as Metropolis, Råderum, and OutOfOffice, and increasingly focuses on regenerative landscapes and rural development.
