THE LANDSCAPE PROJECT

EDITED BY: RICHARD J. WELLER & TATUM HANDS

“The best design is always, to some degree, anti-design but this is also not to be confused with abandoning design. Design is a promethean gift and responsibility.”

The foresight of design, without a naïve belief in technofixes, is all we have. In addition to language, it’s all humans have ever really had. The redesign of modern objects, systems, and settlements—the relics of a fossil-fueled world—will happen, but it will not be easy and it will not be fast. And although in that time there will be horrendous loss, there is reason for optimism in a climate-changed world. As the world urbanizes and global population declines, and as the energy transition to renewables simultaneously builds, the anthropogenic pressure on the earth system will lessen. Add to this the possibility that through the climate crisis humanity will not just be reminded of its hubris, but it will be profoundly humbled, then the physical and metaphysical prerequisites for us to enter into a more symbiotic and less parasitic relationship with the earth will be established. In the interim, design has to work at absorbing the shock, creating refugia, limiting the suffering, and, wherever possible, bringing joy in being mortally of the earth. Every landscape project, no matter how small, is a part of this “bigger picture.”
