Add to basketNeuware - Landscript 5 examines Material Culture in landscape architecture theory and design. Designed landscapes are temporal assemblages of extant and introduced materials, constructed and maintained through the efforts of human labor, mediated through non-human forces, and shaped by constantly changing cultural relations. Sites are bounded by property lines, yet their material relationships-from the transport of construction commodities to global water cycles-extend to untold limits. Designed landscapes are models of human-nature relations, at the same time they are human-nature relations, simultaneously representing and actualizing the co-production of the world. Landscript 5 looks at the aesthetic implications and design opportunities engaging landscape's extended Material Culture.; Landscript 5 untersucht die Theorie und Gestaltung der Landschaftsarchitektur vom Standpunkt einer Material Culture. Die Beiträge des Buches verstehen Landschaften als zeitweilige Ansammlungen lokal vorhandener sowie herbeigeschaffter Stoffe. Sie werden zwar durch die Arbeitskraft und gestalterische Intelligenz des Menschen errichtet und erhalten, zugleich aber durch ständig sich wandelnde kulturelle Gegebenheiten und bedingt kontrollierbare Naturkräfte beeinflusst. Bauplätze etwa mögen begrenzte Areale sein, ihre 'materialen Beziehungen' - vom Transport der Rohstoffe und Konstruktionsgüter bis hin zu globalen Wasserkreisläufen - kennen jedoch keine Grenzen. Landschaften werden so zu einem eindrücklichen Modell der Beziehung Mensch-Natur. Zugleich sind sie selbst Mensch-Natur-Beziehungen, da sie die Gestaltung der Welt repräsentieren und ermöglichen. Die Publikation beschäftigt sich mit der ästhetischen Bedeutung und den entwerferischen Möglichkeiten einer Material Culture für die Landschaftsarchitektur.
