In recent design discourse in landscape architecture, ecological and
environmental concerns have stimulated a shift from rigid formal practice to
design of dynamic systems that are constantly in fluctuation. The digital
revolution has provided landscape architects intelligent tools to challenge the
determinacy of traditional static simulation and modeling method. However, it
has also distanced physical material exploration from the standard protocols of
the discipline. This research presents the use of small tangible hydromorphology
table as new workflows and methods of design for landscape architectural interventions
within hydrological systems. By integrating physical hydraulic simulation model
with real-time computational fluvial simulation through augmented reality
technologies, the new method enables landscape architects to design intuitively
with tangible material process, while being informed by computational
simulation results simultaneously.
