Theme Description
This
session invited authors to rethink the architecture/landscape relationship
through the idea that cultural landscapes may be regarded rather as landscapes
of production and consumption. How do we describe landscapes of commodification
and what have been the forces that have shaped them? Are post-industrial
landscapes opportunities or merely redundant places? How do the tourist
industry and the practices of tourists relate the actual landscape and
the landscape of images? These questions are explored here through a number
of approaches including case studies. However, in doing so, authors of
these essays on ‘architecture + landscapes of production’
also confront a further question. Cultural landscapes are where the site/place
typologies of architecture and landscape must collaborate or collide.
Thus it is here that the complexities of the theory and practice of landscape
must be explicated.
