“Landscape architecture is not simply a refl ection of culture but more an active instrument in the shaping of modern culture.”1 James Corner
Landscape is often ignored as passive and neutral – something that just
is. Perhaps we take landscape for granted because we rarely recognize its importance to our daily lives – we see it as a tree here, or a bush there. We think of it as only vegetation. However, when we glimpse the larger view – like when we fl y and look out our window at the city below – we can ascertain landscape’s ubiquity. We can imagine the opportunities offered by landscape’s expansive scale to shape our cities and drive progressive change.
