Abstract:
Contemporary interest in landscape is not only connected to society’s environmental awareness. It also reflects the overall imposition of the natural paradigm as a central reference for many simultaneous expressions of culture. If we note that modern urban planning and architecture seek the attribute “landscape,” embrace planting, or attempt to mimic the folds of the terrain, we must also recall their support from the philosophy of our time, the emergence of Land Art, the involvement of terrain supervision in topological mathematical theory, and the ability to describe changes in natural relief through parametric simulations. These approaches, however, as well as the political orientation of our landscape and environmental demands, trace their origins to the European landscape culture of the late 18th and 19th centuries.
