Abstract
Around 1970, Cedric Price and the Archigram group presented proposals for inserting inflatables, geodesic domes, robots and other prefabricated systems into the landscape. This article discusses these proposals as part of a historical trend with important cultural significance. Historians Leo Marx and Reyner Banham considered such proposals to reflect the difficult search for a middle landscape: a landscape model in which nature is balanced and stabilized by art. Since the 19th century, this search has been guided by the belief that the machine will build the garden.
