Landscape Matters Issue 4 FINAL - Flipbook - Page 3
Welcome to ISSUE
4 of the journal.
Often overlooked in our rush to solve practical concerns,
in this last edition of the year, we have a couple of articles
exploring the spiritual side of our approach to landscape,
Discover the Goat Within and Spirituality in the Landscape;
the latter is part of two articles on COP26, including a
successfully shortlisted presentation on farming for the future
and our relevance as a profession. This is accompanied by
a feature that critically analyses the principles of London’s
landscape, arguing for a more careful, holistic approach; plus
an architect’s perspective on nature.
While in London, we introduce the first of a new series of Blot
on the Landscape- a satirical view of things that went 'pear
shaped'. The book reviews cover a beautifully illustrated set
of accounts of pilgrimages to Mount Athos in Greece and a
book that acts as a resource in the planning of flood scape
strategies.
The Letters section gives an update on the Holocaust
Memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens and an alternative design
approach. Open space is often underfunded and under threat
in our urban areas; a very worrying trend. Last in this section,
one reader revisits the classic book, Landscape and Memory.
We have our usual round up of website references and of
special mention is the back page luminous woodblock print and
accompanying poem.
