[A] landscape tradition a thousand years old in our Western world is yielding to a fluid organization of space that we do not yet entirely understand, nor know how to assimilate as a symbol of what is desirable and worth preserving.—John Brinckerhoff Jackson. [T]his latest mutation in space—postmodern hyperspace—has finally succeeded in transcending the capacities of the individual human body to locate itself, to organize its immediate surrounding perceptually, and cognitively to map its position in an externally mappable world.—Fredric Jameson.
