Man intervenes in his environment in a comprehensive way. Consciously or casually, but mostly use-oriented, he radically or hardly noticeably transforms them. Our living space is subject to a complex structure of influences in which natural conditions and political, economic, social or cultural motives interact. Starting from a holistic, synoptic point of view, the publication examines the mechanisms of the design of the closely interwoven cultural space of city and landscape. Approximately 40 elements of our physical environment are exemplarily analysed from a decidedly historical perspective and a perspective that combines planning, humanities and cultural studies. The interlocking of the elements and their effects are not only revealed through the text. The complex interrelationships can be experienced visually and ‘read’ via commented illustrations that establish both concrete and associative references between the individual contributions.
