The term landscape is a polysemic term with multifaceted meanings across various disciplines. Geographer James Duncan describes it as both the appearance of an area and the assemblage of objects that create that appearance, while architect Patrick Nuttgens considers landscape as both a physical setting and an intellectual construct that defines human existence over time.
