Groundscapes: The Rediscovery of the Ground in Contemporary Landscape (Land & Scape)

"Groundscapes" explores the 'comeback' of the idea of the ground onto the scene of contemporary architecture. With the decline of heroic modernism in the late 1960s, a new generation of architects eager to discover this forbidden land initiated a reterritorialisation of architecture which continues today. As a consequence, we can understand built space and ground space as opposites but as equal elements of the architectural body.
