Opis

Reciprocal Landscapes: Cases in Material Movement traces five everyday landscape construction materials–fertilizer, stone, steel, trees, and wood–from seminal public landscapes in New York City, back to where they came from.

Recenzje

"Reciprocal Landscapes shows us what matters about landscape by revealing what matter is doing in it — where it came from, why it was taken and how it was extracted, worked, fought over and transported. Original in conception, rigorous in execution, Hutton’s book is nothing less than a brilliant synthesis of materialisms ‘historical’ and ‘new’; an incisive model for the critical analysis of landscape." - Douglas Spencer, Director of Graduate Education and Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, Iowa State University
