TOPOGRAPHY AND LANDFORM GSD CAREER DISCOVERY 2012 LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

...landscape is a system where a point of change is distributed smoothly across a surface so that its infl uence cannot be localized at any discrete point... The slow undulations that are built into any landscape surface as hills and valleys do not mobilize space through action but instead through implied virtual motion... The landscape can initiate movements across itself without literally moving. The infl ections of a landscape present a context of gradients, which are enfolded. - Greg Lynn, (1999) Animate Form, p.29
