Land tenure is ephemeral, since the life of people is short – generally less than a century – compared to the age of the landscape – where geological epochs are measured in tens of millions of years. Yet both are processes that are temporal, and both shape the landscape separately and now together, creating “artefacts”, landscape forms that are by-products of the processes’ operation. This presentation forms part of the ongoing development of Julian’s next book project provisionally entitled Latent City: the landscape architecture of land tenure, and will comprise a background historical investigation of land title and an argument for treating it as a temporal process that has formal effects, linking it to the model of “practices” that he developed in his last book Overgrown.
