Synopsis :

• Guest editors Karen M'Closkey and Keith VanDerSys explore site surveying and sensing technologies as part of an expanded toolkit for landscape architects to bring environmental patterns down to earth and into view
• Designer Robert Gerard Pietrusko reveals the covert militaristic agendas of early aerial land cover interpretation
• Geographer Matthew W. Wilson revisits the rise of critical cartography within geography in the 1980s and '90s

GEO - Earth - is a word that simultaneously signifies something vast and elemental. It refers to both the planet on which we live and the soil that sustains us. GEO is the physical and representational bedrock of landscape architecture - the foundation of many disciplines from which we draw our knowledge. Geography, Geology, and Geometry, in particular, are fundamental to our discipline's intellectual core. And now, we seem ever more entangled in GEO as some scholars across the sciences and humanities argue that humans should be recognised as agents of change at geologic time scales.

À propos de l'auteur: LA+ GEO is guest edited by Karen M'Closkey and Keith VanDerSys, faculty at the University of Pennsylvania's Weitzman School of Design.
