Climbing the Mega-Structures of Science Fiction -- Chapter Fifteen: Verticalities of the Imagination. Futurity and the Contemporary in Urban Science Fiction -- Chapter Sixteen: A Megastructure and a Mountain. Two Ways of Thinking about Architecture Culture -- Chapter Seventeen: Mount Fuji VS The Megastructures of Tokyo.

This book explores the shared qualities of mountains as naturally-formed landscapes, and of megastructures as manmade landscapes, seeking to unravel how each can be understood as an open system of complex network relationships (human, natural and artificial). By looking at mountains and megastructures in an interchangeable way, the book negotiates the fixed boundaries of natural and artificial worlds, to suggest a more complex relationship between landscape and architecture. It suggests an ecological understanding of the interconnectedness of architecture and landscape, and an entangled network of relations. Urban, colonialist, fictional, rural and historical landscapes are interwoven into this fabric that also involves discontinuities, tensions and conflicts as parts of a system that is never linear, but rather fluid and organic as driven byhuman endeavor.
