Designed landscapes are temporal assemblages of extant and introduced materials, constructed and maintained through the efforts of human labor, mediated through non-human forces, and shaped by constantly changing cultural relations. Sites are bounded by property lines, yet their material relationships--from the transport of construction commodities to global water cycles--extend to untold limits.

Landscript 5 looks at the aesthetic implications and design opportunities engaging landscape's extended Material Culture"--Publisher's website.
