The alteration of an existing natural features by creating contours, usually complete with plantings.

PROJECTION(active/descriptive):
The reproduction of an object by optical means on a surface.

Act of conveyence from sensory organs to a source of stimulation outside the body.

Communicating distinctly or forcefully to an audience.

Attribution of an individual's emotional state onto another people or objects.

"Landskip (landscape as contrivance, primarily visual and sometimes also iconic or significant and Landschaft(landscape as a an occupied milieu, the effects and significance of which accrue through tactility, use, and engagement over time)."

"Both terms connote images, but the latter comprises a fuller, more synaesthetic, and less picturable range than the former. Furthermore, the working landscape, forged collectively and according to more utilitarian demands than anything artistic or formal, has been more the traditional domain of descriptive analysis by historians and geographers than of speculation by landscape architects."
