Ness is interested in small buildings and big landscapes, with a focus on the role architectural intervention can play in repairing and protecting fragile natural environments. Her current research, ‘âalp’ - alpine architecture + landscape project, is a collection of ongoing explorations, concerned with all things alpine and with a particular interest in the ‘resortified’ and grafted landscape - the interface between vernacular architecture, human-made interventions and the natural alpine environment.
