Landscape Urbanism Charles WaldheimTraditional Systems vs. New Systems

Systems are composed of various components; these components are what make up the system. Without one of the components it does not perform or function in the desired shape or form. Landscape urbanism is not an exception to this idea of systems. Just like an iphone, a landscape does not work at its optimal state without the correct components. Landscape urbanism is attempting to bring together the components without an overpower over one another. Sometimes the role of smaller components is ignored, which then affects the larger system. The architecture of an urban space, is an essential component to the system functioning an optimal level but it doesn’t mean there isn’t a superior way to go about structuring an urban setting.
