Description
Dynamic Geographies is a groundbreaking exploration of how landscapes can reflect the shifting relationship between humans and their environment. This insightful book, published by Actar D in 2021, emphasizes that landscapes are not static but forged through dynamic processes involving both human and non-human forces. It challenges traditional landscape design approaches that have lasted for decades and instead advocates for resilient and adaptive landscapes that reflect the realities of urban living. By rethinking our perception of 'landscape,' this book pushes for innovative maintenance practices and new esthetics that encompass the vibrant interactions of our geographies. Divided into three essential segments—visible geographies, layered geographies, and unleashing geographies—this work provides a comprehensive look at how these evolving concepts can be integrated into contemporary landscape architecture. Utilizing case studies and theoretical discussions, Dynamic Geographies serves as a pivotal resource for landscape architects, urban planners, and environmentalists striving to create sustainable public spaces. Unlock new perspectives on landscape design and understand how to cultivate environments that adapt and thrive in harmony with nature. Discover the transformative power of non-human partners in designing landscapes that foster resilience and biodiversity.

Description:
Dynamic Geographies seeks to addresses the changing public perceptionof the term landscape.
Landscapes are forged by many forces and are dynamic, not static. Yet most landscape designs are designed as static; that is, they are designed not to change substantially for 20-50 years. As cities become the dominant living space for humans, allowing non-human forces to contribute to our designs as landscape architects will make for more resilient landscapes and a healthier planet. Making these dynamic landscapes with our non-human partners will require a new landscape esthetic, changing the public perception of "landscape," and changing maintenance practices. . The book is divided into three segments of overlapping geographies: visible geographies, layered geographies, and unleashing geographies.
