The In common series attempts:

- To interpret urban space within landscape as an extended field, a field between architecture and landscape, a field on which architects and landscape designers agree.

- To admit that spontaneous appropriation of spaces by citizens is a legitimate form of urban design.
- To confirm the capacity of public spaces as regenerators of urban centres, giving birth to renewed civic activity.

Buildings are seen as the primary building block of a city set against an implicitly innocent and natural landscape. The opposition of organic and rational which defines the history of architecture and landscape has also described relationships between the different disciplines. It is in unhinging this opposition, which for many architects and landscape architects has opened up a potential for emerging landscapes, urban structures and architecture, as well as their materiality – and in doing so new notions of public space.

Krauss challenged notions of the autonomy of sculptural work, in her essay “Sculpture in the Expanded Field”. In turn, by investigating a contemporary concept of landscape, this article identifies a challenge to architecture’s own autonomy and investigates how practices are attempting to position and materialise it within an expanded field...
