Landscape as infrastructure

- Landscape is inherently infrastructural: it mediates, produces, facilitates and transports
- Landscape is the medium through which culture, society, and the individual interact with biophysical, meteorological, and geological fluctuation or stasis. Landscape is a conduit, an exaggerator, a proliferator, an inhibitor, an enabler; herein lies its timeless operative capacity.
- Systems of essential services that support a city = transport, water, commerce, production
