Landscape is more complex than it appears at first glance, and it can be difficult to understand the relationships within it. Underground infrastructure in particular is difficult to grasp spatially, but has a significant impact on landscape design. People’s perceptions of how a landscape should be designed vary widely, and conflicts among interest groups can hinder, e.g., the development of urban areas. An insufficient imagination of effects that the implementation of a planning concept might have can contribute to such conflicts.

At ETH, various methods of landscape visualization are developed and applied, allowing landscapes to be experienced in a fascinating way. In our special laboratory you can dive into the underground of the Gotthard Massif and discover in a simulation what is hidden beneath the earth’s surface. You will also take part in a game in which you design the village center of Hochdorf (LU) together with other participants, reveal different perspectives and needs, make decisions and experience consequences.
