Landing_Grounding_Finding_Founding

"How can outsider designers acquire the understanding of a place that will enable them to act wisley and knowledgeably?
This is a question my four trace concepts adress; landing, grounding, finding, and founding each focus on particular gradients
of discovery, inquiry, and resolution. Each concept also designates a specific attitude and action that in turn nurtures a process
of design and landscape transformation"

tratto da: Four trace concepts in landscape architecture, Christophe Girot
in Recovering Landscape: essays in contemporary landscape architecture, edited by James Corner, Princeton Architectural Press, 1999
