A comparision of the “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” and Gullivers Travels Gulliver sails across the wide expanse of an ocean on a voyage‚ just as Icarus‚ son of Daedalus did on a pair of wax welded wings.

In the 2011 Places Journal article “Landscape Is Our Sex”‚ writer David Heymann questions the legitimacy of landscape based design‚ insisting that such designs do not equate to a building that is sympathetic to the landscape from which it was conceived.

Country for Old Men encapsulates this deteriorated ideal: It “unfolds against one of America’s most visceral and mythologized landscapes”‚ only to reveal in its 1980s Texas setting a countryside that has become rampant with evil and destruction and a cityscape that is in no way different or more safe (Cinema Review).
