Summary:
`Landscape as Territory` is a cartographic book project that critically addresses the agency of architects in the so-called ‘Urban Age’, understanding the notion of ‘territory’ as a field of design praxis through which Interconnected landscapes are produced. Territory, understood as a ‘political technology,’ has the capacity to involve architects and designers into complex social, political, technical, legal, strategic and economic processes that are both historical and geographical engines of contemporary urbanization.

Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but(...)

Edith Dekyndt's artistic approach results in a disturbing observation of the physical phenomena taking place before our very eyes, or even in certain cases, within our eyes. Just as science fiction produces the supernatural from the rational, fantasy and strangeness are no longer the result of superstitious attitudes, as in the age of fantastic and fabulous stories, but the lucid vision of a world whose reality revealed by science now reaches beyond fiction.

Summary:
If landscape is the secret agent and contested territory of the 20th century, then it also forms a lens and language on an increasingly deterritorialized world. Informed by systems thinking from the modern atomic age, Pamphlet Architecture 35: Going Live. From States to Systems emerges from the failure of environmentalism and rise of ecology between the 1970s and 80s, taking inspiration from preeminent urban ecologist Howard T. Odum and his book, A Tropical Rain Forest.

Summary:
These aerial shots of ancient and modern labyrinths and mazes offer a perspective on an age-old phenomenon, and an opportunity to better understand its meaning. Allegories for life's uncertainty, labyrinths and mazes are ancient symbols that echo our own spiritual quests, transformations, and yearnings to find the right path. Jurgen Hohmuth used a custom-made camera attached to a miniature dirigible to photograph the labyrinths and mazes in this stunning book. The resulting low-altitude aerial photographs capture in astonishing detail the designs, textures, and settings that make each structure unique. Presented in large full-colour images, these gems of architectural landscaping take all forms and sizes, comprising an endless variety of materials: mosaics, cornstalks, sunflowers, stones, even beer crates. Laden with history, some labyrinths and mazes date back to the Bronze Age; grace the floors of medieval cathedrals; and spring up from the lawns of country estates. Modern incarnations are found in amusement parks, farmers' fields, and traffic circles. Lending depth to Hohmuth's photographs are brief essays from experts in the field, including Adrian Fisher, the world's foremost designer of labyrinths and mazes, as well as an innovative layout design that echoes the spirit of the labyrinth.
