Fur- thermore, the realities of the accumulated ef- fects of infrastructural interventions constant- ly alter ecosystems and material process in foreseen and unforeseen ways.6 Consequently, dysfunctional environmental relations have been a major force of land- scape transformation, challenging the land- scape to cope within maelstrom of continu- ous disintegration. Broadly speaking, an abundance of conceptual landscape views is to be expected. In this context substantive landscape meaning varies. As Rowntree7 re- veals according to various disciplines and its preferences landscape could be understood differently ”as an ecological artefact, materi- al culture, visual resource, a metaphor, and artistic depiction, ideology, and agent of power relations”.8 Accordingly, selective landscape experience and representation, the ones that favor beau- tiful and stylized scenarios, is based on indi- vidual aspirations of the observer.
