This thesis project explores landscape and the transformations that occur to it over time. Using architectural interventions the project sets out to find a way of narrating and emphasising the transformation processes that take place in the landscape, striving to challenge and deepen the understanding of both man’s and nature’s impact on the environment we inhabit. With the backdrop of the city of Uppsala and the well documented findings of Carl Linnaeus’ field studies along his herbal excursion trails called the Herbationes Upsaliensis, this project takes a closer look on one of the trails, the Ultuna trail. From investigating the trail, a selection of stories representing different types of landscape transformations that have taken place along the trail, has been made. By introducing an alternative trail parallel to the Ultuna trail, lined with architectural interventions, the objective has been to present the Ultuna trail from new perspectives, creating a new way of experiencing of our surroundings.
