Description
Artificial mountains are a widespread phenomenon that has influenced the history of urbanism, architecture, and landscape design. From ancient China to modern-day Europe, man-made mountains have been used in various contexts, including burial sites, incense burners, and garden features. The construction of artificial mountains dates back to antiquity, with examples found in Greece, Rome, and other cultures. The use of these structures continued through the French Revolution and into the 20th century, where they became a subject of artistic exploration. Michael Jakob's comparative study is the first to examine this phenomenon globally, tracing its development from ancient times to the present day. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of artificial mountains, exploring their significance in shaping human culture and environment.
