| Abstract: | A new generation of thinking is emerging in the manipulation of ground systems that, with the aid of parametrics, is enabling a new level of design precision and ecological calibration. Anne Save de Beaurecueil and Franklin Lee describe how with Diploma Unit 2 at the Architectural Association in London, they are working towards their goal of fusing architecture, landscape and contemporary art through an engagement with articulated ground organisations.
