| Description: | Architecture and Nature The word “nature” comes from natura, Latin for birth – as do the words nation and native. But nature and nation share more than a common root, they share a common history, where one term has been used to define the other. This has been especially true in the United States, from the idea of the noble savage to the myth of the frontier. Nar- rated, painted and filmed, the American landscapes have been central to the construction of a national identity. This book explores changing ideas of what nature has meant for the United States and how it has been represented in buildings and landscapes over the past century. |
