Taking Measures

    Taking Measures Across the American Landscape is a book that combines the essays of James Corner and the photography of Alex S. MacLean in a collection that analyses the measures used in defining the vastness of the American experience.  The book beautifully combines images with map content, bringing to light new concepts of what is simply considered a flyover state. The progression of westward expansion and the history of America leaves its mark through the ways in which we use the space and how some spaces have allowed for cultural and social development. Navaho Spring-Line Fields. 12”X16”, shows an interesting green fissure through a black and white defined space while photograph across the page perfectly shows that green space in its real setting. Overall its an interesting collection of ideas and images made form the ways we use the landscape.
