This book explores the shared qualities of mountains as
naturally-formed landscapes, and of megastructures as manmade
landscapes, seeking to unravel how each can be understood as an
open system of complex network relationships (human, natural and
artificial). By looking at mountains and megastructures in an
interchangeable way, the book negotiates the fixed boundaries of
natural and artificial worlds, to suggest a more complex
relationship between landscape and architecture. It suggests an
ecological understanding of the interconnectedness of architecture
and landscape, and an entangled network of relations. Urban,
colonialist, fictional, rural and historical landscapes are
interwoven into this fabric that also involves discontinuities,
tensions and conflicts as parts of a system that is never linear,
but rather fluid and organic as driven by human endeavor.
