About the Book
This document examines landscape as a series of layered inscriptions formed by humanity and natural processes over time. These elements contribute to the evolution of places as layers are added to, covered, destroyed or forgotten. Therefore, a thorough examination of a site’s past can reveal traces of previous layers that may be used, through design, to generate cultural memory. Embodying the idea of landscape palimpsest, a design can form a new inscription: one that embraces change while remaining connected to the past. Thinking about landscape as a living document provides useful inspiration for designers and helps people connect to their landscape heritage.
