The Shape of the Land: Topography & Landscape Architecture -
the first book to centre on this subject - presents the
contributions of 13 well-known practitioners and academics who
discuss the forms and ramifications of reconfiguring terrain. The
essays range in content from pre-industrial precedents in the work
of Humphry Repton to new digital topographic modelling systems
without the use of contour lines, the treatment of waste products
to the land art of the American Southwest. Practicing landscape
architects focusing on the modelling of topography in the works
considering both utility and aesthetics. In all, the book reviews
the history, reasons, and results of at least three centuries of
topographic interventions, while suggesting pathways into the
future - as new technology and new necessities increase the
functional demands placed upon landscape architects, while at the
same time potentially offering new forms of artistic expression.
