Mountains and Megastructures - Neo-Geologic Landscapes of Human Endeavour (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Martin Beattie, Christos... Mountains and Megastructures - Neo-Geologic Landscapes of Human Endeavour (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Martin Beattie, Christos Kakalis, Matthew Ozga-Lawn
R1,546 Discovery Miles 15 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
