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.
