6. | Description | Abstract | This chapter presents the landscape as a phenomenon and the ways in which it can be approached and applied to specific cultures. It further presents different aspects of the Egyptian environment as it is now and as it was in antiquity, as well as significant modifications of that environment. Moreover, the cosmological organization of sacred spaces and pictorial and symbolic representations of landscapes are discussed; while the concluding section recapitulates the material reviewed and offers the first stage of a synthesis that also serves as an introit to the discussion of planning in Chapter 3. |
