Description
This title presents a condition of contemporary landscape by measuring it through direct and immediate forms - terms, definitions, ideas, microstories, short texts, notes. It is a collection of instant snapshots rather than a complete critical and theoretical look at the subject. It is a group of terms asked for and formulated by authors that are not only architects and landscape architects, but also urbanists, philosophers, critics, poets, geographers and writers. It is a collection of reflections that underlie aesthetic and cultural categories as much as technical - professional values and practices. It is a Tower of Babel of meanings, each having its specific characteristics, which, far from exhausting all the issues of a particular point, propose 'listening' to it from various multifaceted standpoints.
The mini-essays are arranged alphabetically, spinning off from such titles as 'Depredation', 'Ecology' and 'Modern'. These concepts do not guide this book towards a definition of landscape but towards a search for the most suitable instruments for dealing with it. Authors include Inaki Abalos, Peter Lang, Enric Batlle and many more, and there are in fact 104 separate entries..
