Recovering Landscape: Essays in Contemporary Landscape Architecture Edited by James Corner New York, Princeton Architectural Press (1999) ISBN 1-56898-179-1
In A Landscape of Events,1 the French architect, planner and philosopher Paul Virilio describes the ‘miniaturization of destructive power’ that now allows individuals rather than vast armies to deconstruct with maximum impact. The world now looks no further than the horrific events of 11 September, 2001 sadly to confirm Virilio's theory. The world also knows too well that the information, media and international televized coverage following such tragedies are ‘communications weapons,’ giving individuals, rather than governments, political value to manipulate international public opinion. Virilio's ‘miniaturization of destructive power’ is the result of hard physical evidence and the verbal terrain created while exposing it.
