Terrain Vogue

What was once a fixed notion of landscape has long since evolved and diversified. New buzzwords continue to fuel the discussion about the past, present, and future of our environment. Where do current debates about landscape start? Which paths remain, and where are unknown paths being trodden? This primer on current concepts in landscape architecture reflects the range of approaches in theory and practice that the Chair of Landscape Architecture of Christophe Girot at ETH Zurich has engaged with. A collection of short texts and audiovisual contributions, it forms an intergenerational terrain in which old and new ideas have taken shape. Terrain Vogue also marks the end of a publication series that has shaped discourse on research, teaching, and design with nature and landscape for twenty years.
