The mappings continue McHarg's efforts by attempting to record ecological aspects of landscapes in ways that will make them significant and valued content of design proposals.Yet, the mappings also depart from McHarg's mapping efforts. Today's more advanced ecological knowledge has taught us that the more important matters of ecology are the dynamics.The artifacts are merely the visible, tangible products of the complex interactions between organisms their environment--interactions that cannot be mapped as discrete entities, processes that cannot be mapped merely as colors, and conditions that cannot be rationalized through a matrix--however networked that matrix.
