While the design of a landscape project can be known and documented, the same cannot be said for its transformations over time. This book is situated in this critical and analytical void. Opening with the story of a project that allows us to become familiar with the ordinary production of a public space, it continues with seven case studies, each illustrating an item in a grammar of alteration: the ruin, the island, the base, the foundation, the wood, the seed, and the pole.
By presenting a theoretical framework capable of hierarchizing this series of data, the author reveals how, through alteration, the internal dynamics of the initial terrain reconfigure the developed space. As if, through the ebb and flow of the project, it was ultimately the site that came to itself.
The landscape project can therefore, through its wanderings, become the vector of a concrete ecology of inhabited space as a support for a new critical theory of public space.
