This study is a discussion on the visual problems of buildings (New Zealand Electricity Department's Line Construction camps in particular) in the rural-wilderness landscape. Three Landscape will be discussed in this study, these being related to the type and extent of man's activities having changed the initial landscape from the natural state to a different form to satisfy his needs. The three broad categories that have been chosen are urban, rural, and wilderness. Moving from the wilderness which is the least changed, to urban, being the most changed by man. Thus a "landscape" can be defined as the visual state that we perceive of a piece of land.

Accompanying Maps (4-14) and supplementary Report (including Maps 1-3) have been scanned separately.
