Abstract
Environment, and with it nature, are routinely understood as providers of material resources whose value is realized through physical extraction and processing. How might a framing of landscape around its experiential dimensions, and in particular its participatory, performative and event like qualities, challenges such a framing? This study examines designed ‘landscopic’ interventions that are not bound to a specific site, as a means to support a positive engagement and caring of the endemic ecosystems. These are considered in terms of their potential to increase benefits to environment and nature˜ based contexts that also realize social and economic value. Complexities that challenge both environment and nature relationships and also the scope of the discipline of landscape architecture are also considered.
