A post from the faslanyc blog titled On Landscape Ontology II: Production, Extraction, and Generative Capacity.
From the post:
“In searching for an ontology of landscape practice, it seems good to consider the concepts of production, extraction, and generative capacity. Our contemporary interest in terms such as “ecosystem services”, “performative surfaces/substances” and “green/soft infrastructure” suggests a link and this topic was probed to some extent by Mason White a few months ago. Even so, the general bewilderment that these terms provoke suggests that a better understanding of them might be helpful in divining a truly landscape ontology.”
