Abstract

This is our invocation of memory, but also of fantasy. The efforts being made to design ecologi cal corridors are grounded in the memory of a more connected physical landscape, with a more reliable ecological function. Our past human actions have given us structures that dominate the natural landscape, severing demographic and genetic connections. Human and ecological health needs, now urgent, will require stitching together the pieces. Is our stitching in time? Can a rendered ecological fabric be repaired? Success will require links among professional disciplines, not just between landscape parcels. In this Special Issue, we address a variety of perspectives necessary for progress: scientific fact-finding; architectural design explorations; public policy initiatives; and scale of action, from microsite to continental. We also offer journalistic scope from detailed, analytical black-and-white figures, to the knockout, 16 pages of living color of landscape architecture innovations. Have we gotten your attention? There’s a design world out there for the ecological community to meet. Invite them over (a wine bar will do)!
