GEO—Earth—is a word that simultaneously signifies something vast and elemental. It refers to both the planet on which we live and the soil that sustains us. GEO is the physical and representational bedrock of landscape architecture—the foundation of many disciplines from which we draw our knowledge. Geography, geology, and geometry, in particular, are fundamental to our discipline’s intellectual core. And now, we seem ever more entangled in GEO as some scholars across the sciences and humanities argue that humans should be recognized as agents of change at geologic time scales.
LA+ GEO invites contributors to reflect on the evolving objects, instruments, and institutions of GEO-studies. Whether digging deep or flying high—from fracking and geo-engineering, to mapping and modeling—our technologies of sensing, imaging, and extraction further entrench us
into the GEO we have made and that continues to make us.
