Penelope Silva

Master in Landscape Architecture at UCL and Bachelor in Architecture and Urbanism at PUCP (Lima, Peru). Three years experience in a research group in PUCP and currently working in a design company in London. Recently published my dissertation thesis titled: ''(H)Edges of resistance: Assemblages of Borders as Dynamic, Connective, and Regenerative Ecological Models'' which explored issues like borders, migration and the climate crisis through the lens of a hedge. While challenging the notion of borders as fixed rigid lines of control, hedges offer an alternate vision to reframe them as dynamic and potentially regenerative of landscapes.
