Norman Villeroux is a Landscape Architect and musician primarily concerned with exploring new forms of coexistence in fragile and disappearing landscapes through animation, cartography, filmmaking, and field recording. His interests span a variety of fields, including deep geological time and radical socio-political movements as alternatives to traditional ways of gardening. He currently teaches landscape architecture design studios and digital skills workshops at the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) while working as a freelance practitioner with IGLU. His experience includes participation in an architectural educational program in Mexico with the office TOA_ASPJ, aimed at exploring ways to consolidate damaged structures following the 2017 Puebla Earthquake. His teaching focuses on final year design studio students in Landscape Architecture (MA // MLA), specifically through a studio named Quiet Places, which engages with complex landscapes like the Vatnajökull Glacier in Iceland, considering their rapid disappearance due to climate change and their significance in the broader context of human interaction with fragile environments.
