Composite Landscapes examines one of landscape architecture's most recognizable representational forms, the montage view. The volume gathers work from a select group of influential contemporary artists and a dozen of the world's leading landscape architects. These composite views reveal practices of photomontage depicting the conceptual, experiential and temporal dimensions of landscape. Composite Landscapes illustrates the analogue origins of a method now rendered ubiquitous through digital means. In revisiting the composite landscape view as a cultural form, this book illuminates the contemporary status of the photographically constructed image for the design disciplines and beyond.
