Dynamic Geographies

Dynamic Geographies seeks to addresses the changing public perception of the term landscape.

Landscapes are forged by many forces and are dynamic, not static. Yet most landscape designs are designed as static; that is, they are designed not to change substantially for 20-50 years. As cities become the dominant living space for humans, allowing non-human forces to contribute to our designs as landscape architects will make for more resilient landscapes and a healthier planet. Making these dynamic landscapes with our non-human partners will require a new landscape esthetic, changing the public perception of landscape, and changing maintenance practices. . The book is divided into three segments of overlapping geographies: visible geographies, layered geographies, and unleashing geographies.
