ABSTRACT

Kristina Hill Over the last several decades, the evolving notion of the natural world as a dynamic ecosystem has slowly but radically altered the ways ecologists talk about the patterns and dynamics of a site. Many of these changes in theory have led to shifts in the natural sciences as dramatic as transitions initiated by the Modern Movement in design. In short, a wholesale reevaluation of boundaries and predictability has occurred, posing special challenges for professions that propose site designs.
