Emerging Landscapes brings together scholars and practitioners working in a wide range of disciplines within the fields of the built environment and visual arts to explore landscape as an idea; an image; and a material practice in an increasingly globalized world. Drawing on the synergies between the fields of architecture and photography; this collection takes a multidisciplinary approach; combining practice-based research with scholarly essays. It explores and critically reassesses the interface between representation - the imaginary and symbolic shaping of the human environment - and production - the physical and material changes wrought on the land. At a time of environmental crisis and the ’end of nature; ’shifting geopolitical boundaries and economic downturn; Emerging Landscapes reflects on the state of landscape and its future; mapping those practices that creatively address the boundaries between possibility; opportunity and action in imagining and shaping landscape.
