{"product_id":"mountains-and-megastructures-martin-beattie-9789811571091","title":"Mountains and Megastructures: Neo-Geologic Landscapes of Human Endeavour","description":"This book explores the shared qualities of mountains as naturally-formed landscapes, and of megastructures as manmade landscapes, seeking to unravel how each can be understood as an open system of complex network relationships (human, natural and artificial). By looking at mountains and megastructures in an interchangeable way, the book negotiates the fixed boundaries of natural and artificial worlds, to suggest a more complex relationship between landscape and architecture. It suggests an ecological understanding of the interconnectedness of architecture and landscape, and an entangled network of relations. Urban, colonialist, fictional, rural and historical landscapes are interwoven into this fabric that also involves discontinuities, tensions and conflicts as parts of a system that is never linear, but rather fluid and organic as driven by \u003ci\u003ehuman endeavor\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Beattie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811571090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811571091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Martin Beattie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48442848313599,"sku":"9789811571091","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d19e923-50f3-4d0d-bc56-b6d3b9d8c2bf.jpg?v=1777200189","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mountains-and-megastructures-martin-beattie-9789811571091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
