Author Kenneth R. Olwig has compiled a remarkable collection of nine authoritative essays that delve into the realms of landscape geography and architecture, offering a fresh perspective from the environmental humanities. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of disciplines, including art, literature, theatre staging, architecture, and garden design, landscape has emerged as a multifaceted concept, transcending its traditional association with spatial scenery. However, this limited interpretation fails to capture the full spectrum of landscape meaning in today's world.
In his book, Kenneth R. Olwig presents landscape as a concept that has evolved over centuries, moving from one place to another, to offer nuanced interpretations of its significance. The essays in this volume are intricately woven together to provide a comprehensive international perspective on the past and present importance of landscape as a place, a polity, a designed space, a natural environment, and a powerful force in shaping ideas for a just and sustainable social and physical environment.
This illustrated volume is particularly aimed at students, scholars, and researchers interested in landscape and related fields. It traces the idea of landscape from its ancient origins in the polis and theatre to the present day, showcasing its evolution and transformation through different historical and cultural contexts.
Through his insightful and interdisciplinary approach, Kenneth R. Olwig invites readers to reexamine the landscape and its role in shaping our world. This book offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between humans and their environment, highlighting the importance of preserving and enhancing the natural and built landscapes for the benefit of present and future generations.
