ABSTRACT
The scope of future thinking falls beyond landscape architecture, involving many other disciplines and media; to evidence futurological landscapes involves assessment of the plurality of futurological thinking reflecting and returning to source. Our future landscape imagination can relate to utopian and dystopian thinking, which project visions of types of living in landscapes and urban landscapes, and as an evaluative response to futures soon to be adopted. The implication for landscape architecture in the visioning of social and political spaces rests on its agency, that working with landscapes has a shaping power in making community spaces. Future metabolisms rely on a digital agency that works to commutate the complexity of natural phenomena in order for the landscape architects to work with it. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
