The Depth of the Landscape

Throughout history,
the relationship between landscape and architecture has formed the basis
of culture and the development of human settlements. The unfolding of a
site, its transformation through the construction of buildings or of
entire cities, translates into this basic idea: that history extends
geography. In recent decades, generic architecture has increasingly
homogenized the appearance of different territories, resulting in a
profoundly different understanding of nature and landscape.

Within his
work, French architect and urban planner Jean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours
continuously articulates the relationship between landscape and
architecture. This book traces his line of thought by reflecting on 16
projects and their specific conditions.
