Coming from a collective background of fine art, mathematics, philosophy, history and sociology, Astrid Greaves, Carla Lipkin and Sarah MacLean attempt to visually represent the intangible in Wind Tunnel. All three are enrolled in the Master’s of Landscape Architecture program at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, University of Toronto.

There are certain intangible qualities to a space that cannot be accounted for solely through design. Environmental elements are inherent in our canvas as designers of landscape. This prompts us to question: How much of the atmosphere of a space do we have control over? How do we design the intangible? Can atmosphere be a typology? Is it possible to construct the atmosphere of wind without wind?
