Resumen

The search for interpretations of its own territory has always been a sign of identity throughout American history. These “American landscapes”, such as Jefferson’s democratic space, the wilderness or the Midwestern countryside, served as valuable tools not only to know reality, but also to transform it. After the end of World War II a new paradigm of landscape arose to address the substantial changes that were taking place in the territory, finding its essential core in the most banal and conventional architecture. This new landscape idea originated from a pattern of mostly critical contributions from art, geography and architecture, which were articulated as a genuine comprehensive narrative thanks to photographic exhibitions such as New Topographics or the writings by figures like John Brinckerhoff Jackson. This author, thanks to his transdisciplinary and open-minded attitude, managed to raise interest about spaces theretofore ignored, making them comprehensible. Our journey through some of the milestones in the production of this modern imaginary allows us not only to gain a better understanding of the real influence of these discourses on spatial reality, but also to identify mistakes in a way of explaining contemporary American territory that ended up legitimizing what it was supposed to correct.
