How can an abstract term like "Topology" become pertinent and
effective to landscape thinking today? There is a schism between
the way landscape is understood scientifically, either as a
normative network or an environmental system, and the way the same
place exists emotionally for people. This disparity which prevails
in today's landscape calls for a change of approach, both in terms
of action and perception. Topology, in this instance, is not
confined to the science of continuous surfaces in mathematics, it
can pay greater attention to deeper spatial, physical, poetic and
philosophical values embedded in a long tradition of designed
nature. The strength of landscape topology is that it can weave
together and integrate heterogeneous fields of action into a single
meaningful whole. It brings disciplines together on a common
topological "vellum" capable of improving our understanding of
landscape as a cultural construct with all its inherent beauty and
strength.
