Document Summary

Parts of notes include looking up info from the internet dealing with what we spoke about in class. Don"t put the whole article in the notes, just a small section. Physical environment = natural environment + built environment. Natural environment: landscapes untouched (and unaffected) by human beings, it has become a debate whether, because of the long reaching arm of humanity, there is truly any true natural environment left in the world. Built environment: all human creations, past, present and future, just because places can be a built environment, there can still be natural items in the area. Ian mcharg: talked about the earth now being a human created environment . Gaia hypothesis: earth as a complex interacting system, mcharg suggests that we consider the earth as a single superorganism to get to know the parts in order to assign value to them.
