Talking architecture #4
Perspectives, Values and Legacy

Entitled “The Construction of Landscape”, Talking Architecture #4 revolved around relations that are established and developed between society, culture and the economy through architecture and landscape.

 
Perspective

How can we read the post-industrial landscapes?
What potential and perspective does the future offer?

Values

What should the ethical and social principles of landscaping be?
At what point can the values of landscape and art converge?

Legacy

What cultural values do natural and farming landscapes comprise and put across?
What can we learn from the legacy that the farming landscape has left us in post-industrial areas?
