From map to mapping: imaging active landscapes through

The research builds on and contributes to the representation in landscape, specifically the imaging of active landscapes. Current representational methodologies in landscape architecture have already defined various regimes for the mapping of landscapes. Most of these operate by portraying existing conditions that prioritize visual and formal qualities, displacing objects from their wider context and creating neutral artificialities. Although the discourse of representation has already emphasized the need for appropriate methodologies that engage more closely with the landscape, there has not been an examination and production of techniques that not only privilege the object but also encourage the imaginative conception of experiential phenomena unfolding over time. A convention such as the figure-ground plan is an idealized and dominant technique that expresses an existing condition, without references to evolution or change. This research provides additional insight into the depiction of events that develop over time by reconceptualising
