N2 - Fieldwork is intrinsic to the study of architecture. Being outside, sometimes quite literally in a field, is one of the most powerful ways to directly engage with the built environment, particularly when the subject is infrastructural. Infrastructure operates at scales that are often hard to conceptualise, extending as far as the eye can see, and further. Extended networks of pipes, tubes and wires connect urban centres to their distant hinterlands, an invisible dependency that is frequently disregarded, or not even conceived of at all. This article addresses the tensions between manufactured and natural landscapes through the lens of energy production.
