SUMMARY:Landscape and Infrastructure: Re-imagining the Pastoral Paradigm for the 21st Century Book Release with author Meg Vickery
DESCRIPTION:In her new book local author and lecturer of the History of Art and Architecture Meg Vickery traces the roots and uncovers the significance of the productive activities and elements of pastoral traditions in art and designed landscapes\, clearly documenting the persistent and sometimes difficult relationship of aesthetics and production. With rising demand for clean energy\, clean water\, and locally-grown food\, this study offers a historical perspective on how such systems can be integrated into our suburban and urban areas. Vestigial elements of the pastoral tradition have long held aesthetic sway in our suburbs\, cities and national parks\, both in Britain and America. Now\, as new energy- and water-related projects encroach on these spaces\, remnants of the pastoral play a crucial role in convincing neighborhood residents\, municipal leaders\, and energy companies or water authorities of the benefits of a neighboring infrastructure. This book investigates the history of that tradition and highlights the advantages it brings as we re-imagine infrastructure in the twenty-first century.
