In this pioneering book, Robert Mugerauer seeks to make
deconstruction and hermeneutics accessible to people in the
environmental disciplines, including architecture, planning, urban
studies, environmental studies, and cultural geography.
Mugerauer demonstrates each methodology through a case study.
The first study uses the traditional approach to recover the
meaning of Jung's and Wittgenstein's houses by analyzing their
historical, intentional contexts. The second case study utilizes
deconstruction to explore Egyptian, French neoclassical, and
postmodern attempts to use pyramids to constitute a sense of
lasting presence. And the third case study employs hermeneutics to
reveal how the American understanding of the natural landscape has
evolved from religious to secular to ecological since the
nineteenth century.
