Molinski's research and creative work focus on three main themes: the lived experience of the landscape, the physical act of altering the environment and design as projective process for questioning. With his background in film and other disciplines, his research looks to expand the design process of landscape architecture to become more inherently dynamic and multisensory by investigating the creative processes of adjacent disciplines like fashion, film, sculpture, music and the culinary arts in an attempt to develop new processes and tools for perceiving, conceiving and altering landscapes.
