Walking the same paths day by day, we cease to be aware of our surroundings. This issue of Pamphlet intentionally leads readers afield in an attempt to subvert this tendency—finding new perspectives in familiar territory.
This research and teaching project examines the relation between existing path systems and the creative possibilities of the walking subject in the context of landscape architecture and urban development.
This issue of Pamphlet proposes that, as landscape architects, we must thoroughly investigate the medium by innovating our design methods, strategies, processes, and tools to gain a literacy of place, which like the delta itself, embraces multiple threads and a constantly changing course.
