Among A Growing Number Of Architects, Landscape Architects, And Planners, However, These Problems Have Inspired A New Visionsustainabilityto Guide Their Practices.In Nature, Landscape, And Building For Sustainability, A Diverse Group Of Contributors Considers The Concept Of Sustainability, Both Philosophically And Practically. Some Take A Broad View Of The Divisions Between Nature And Humanity, Exploring The Incomprehensible Scale Of Human Intervention In The Natural World, The Relationship Between How We Feel About Nature And What We Do About It, And The Commodification Of The Natural World.
