Your Brief History of Ecologies article is quite interesting. It's odd how these ideologies or cultural shifts impact art and architectural styles.

I write a lot on the humanistic and existential drive to replace the indifferent wilderness with something artificial that will flatter and empower us. The stages these constructs go through, though, would add some nuances to that overall thesis.

I see how the concept of mapping helps you formulate this point about how the relation between map and territory changes as we move from modernity, through postmodernity, to hypermodernity.
