- Summary:
- "Landscape and Infrastructure examines the relationship between infrastructure, nature and culture from the 17th century to the present. It looks at the ways in which infrastructure in the urban and rural landscape has been both celebrated and reviled, and provides powerful lessons for architects and landscape designers who are once more seeking to remarry nature, community, sustainability, and infrastructure".
