Landscape Is...! examines the implicit biases and received meanings of landscape. Following on from the previous publication Is Landscape…? which examined the plural and promiscuous identities of the landscape idea, this companion volume reflects upon the diverse and multiple meanings of landscape as a discipline, profession, and medium. This book is intended for academics, researchers, and students in landscape architecture and cognate disciplines. Chapters address various overlooked aspects of landscape that develop, disturb, and diversify received understandings of the field. Framed as an inquiry into the relationship of landscape to the forms of human subjectivity, the book features contributions from leading voices who challenge the contemporary understandings of the field in relation to capital and class, race and gender, power and politics, and more.
