Abstract
Ian McHarg opened a new way for us to see the world. His approach for interpreting the play between natural and cultural systems has become the dominant visualization technology of our time, just as Bruneleschi’s experiments with linear perspective dominated architectural visualization for 700 years. Ian McHarg provided a roadmap for applying ecological information to how we interpret, plan, and shape our surroundings. This became his quest, his principal contribution. In this commentary, I will summarize McHarg’s life, then illustrate how his ideas remain timely.
