Abstract

<p>This article attempts to regard architects, urban designers, and farmers equally as "making beings" embedded in landscapes. It reveals a structure of "generatively chained reliance" in the process of landscape formation, in which various human and non-human actors, including making beings, rely—often coincidently—upon others' capabilities, systems, and infrastructures. The article begins by revisiting architects' and urban designers' evolving attitudes towards urban and rural landscapes since the 1960s. Next, cases of sustainable agriculture taking place in terraced paddy fields on Sado Island, Japan—revolving around the conservation of the endangered Japanese crested ibis—are examined diachronically. The results explicate how a structure of generatively chained reliance is created by the farmers' efforts to continue sustainable agriculture, and reveal a parallelism within this structure among architects, urban designers, and the farmers. The article concludes that the generative structure per se acts as the dynamism of landscape formation.</p>
