Explore the intricate relationship between landscape painting and design from the 17th century to the present, and contemporary global infrastructure projects. This book, "Landscape and Infrastructure," by Margaret Birney Vickery, bridges these seemingly disparate subjects by focusing on the pastoral middle ground – a traditionally productive landscape. By examining pre-industrial systems and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the pastoral landscape tradition, readers gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate new approaches to productive infrastructure, such as power generation, water filtration, and food production, into our modern landscapes. As demand for clean energy, water, and local food grows, this study offers a historical perspective on weaving these systems into suburban and urban environments. It investigates the historical significance of the pastoral tradition in shaping aesthetics in British and American landscapes and highlights its crucial role in advocating for infrastructure benefits to residents, leaders, and companies. Reimagining infrastructure for the 21st century requires understanding this historical context.
