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 aesthetic, changing the public perception of "landscape," and changing maintenance practices.


Dynamic Geographies
seeks to address these perceptions with a series of our projects as
examples. The book is divided into three segments of overlapping
geographies: Invisible geographies, Layered geographies, and Unleashing
geographies.
