Book excerpt: The difficulty ofreconciling our basic needs with the long history of culturallandscapes, in all their inherent beauty and sufficiency, has becomeclear. With our deep trust in modern technology, in progress and in ademanding global lifestyle we have become a real threat to our world.Yet, today the existential and elementary nature of landscapes remainsthe bearer of a successful metaphor for "balance". Why not draw--amidst atruly global crisis--conclusions out of our long history of designednature, of places shaped by skilled labor and a quest for pleasure? Landscape Analogue seeks to stimulate the "Analogue" dimension as asubstantial concept for everyday landscape thinking. In an anthology ofinterdisciplinary essays, Landscript 6 stresses the necessity for afundamental shift, within the likely framework of a future of restrictedresources, a radically different mobility or "hot" cities.
