Abstract
This landscape is embraced through a distributed network of low-impact research stations positioned along the river corridor. Inhabited by field scientists and accessible to river tourists, these stations act as infrastructural characters that connect ecological research with embodied experience. Lightweight and modular assemblies integrate environmental sensing technologies, water collection systems, and deployable fabric structures, softening the relationship between infrastructure and landscape while translating large-scale environmental processes into intimate encounters. The project imagines a new pilgrimage through Glen Canyon as a living landscape of entanglement where infrastructure, ecology, and human responsibility become inseparable.
