Issue 34 "Between Architecture and Landscape Architecture"

On first glance, apartment blocks, museums, shopping malls, bridges, parks, squares and gardens can be identified as either "buildings" or "open space," either "architecture" or "landscape architecture." This identification is reflected in the nomenclature of the professions, the professional associations, and the academic programs.

However, taking a closer look at individual projects, such classifications become more complex and the line between architecture and landscape architecture becomes blurred; projects turn out to be neither pure building nor pure open space. These classifications have become less black and white and, as a consequence, conceptual determinations must loosen while remaining within the realm of the "architectonic." Such works of architecture could manifest themselves, for example, as thresholds, hybrids, mimeses, islands, and clamps, among others.

"Cloud-Cuckoo-Land" invites authors to submit contributions that reflect on this topic.
