Graphic Powers...

These readings do a few really interesting things for me: One, they represent a simple means of graphic codification of human relationships with the earth. Their graphic distillations of big ideas offer another tool for site study and design response. The second interesting topic in the readings is the relationship between justice, democracy and landscape. By codifying somewhat ubiquitous terms, and representing them graphically, the authors offer the reader a simple skeleton of ideas, which can easily serve as a starting point for further inquiry. For me, the means in which the information was presented provided a range of potential outcomes. I will finish this post later, after class. More to come!!
