Journal of Landscape Architecture - LA 45

In dieser Angelegenheit

The journal pays tribute to M.N. Buch, Charles Correa and Prabhakar B Bhagwat and Nek Chand as their colleagues and friends share thoughts and remember their contribution to the professional world. The passing away of such influential luminaries becomes a defining stage in our professional lives. The new reality of their absence from this world makes us conscious of the passage of time, a new vacuum, and we ponder to look back. We discuss the idea of nostalgia and memory in their various forms and in the ways it encourages, distracts, inspires or provoke an intellectually sensitive person in his / her creative journey. A poet feels that nostalgia is a distraction while a historian considers it, along with structured memory, as design tools. A historian thinks of the sense of history for treading in future, the past becomes an element on which hinges the moments of the present and future. We do hope that this change to the new order, at times abrupt and sudden, is able to bring better wisdom and realistic consciousness in our thoughts and efforts.
