Why We're Here
Topophilia is an online publication devoted to landscape architecture in the expanded field, including art, urbanism, architecture and other tangents of contemporary culture. Topophilia started in 2005 to engage emerging landscape architects and the established profession with cultural and conceptual critique, renegade publications, and simply, general discussion about the evolving, sometimes nebulous, field of landscape architecture.
Topophilia is always interested in contributors and opportunities for cross disciplinary endeavors. If you have an idea or an event you would like posted, please contact us at editor@topophilia.org or via our facebook group.
