Publisher’s description: Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments is an award-winning, international online journal searching for that interface—the integration—among the built and natural environments, that might be called the soul of place.

It is not definitely about urban form, nor solely about natural landscapes. It is not precisely about human culture, nor necessarily about ecology. It is, rather, a celebration of the symbiosis between the built and natural environments where it exists, and an examination and discourse where it does not.

The literary, journalistic, and artistic works contained with Terrain.org are of the highest quality, submitted by a variety of contributors for a diverse audience. The works may be idealistic, technical, historical, philosophical, and more. Above all, they focus on the environments around us—the built and natural environments—that both affect and are affected by the human species.

Recent issues:

The Spring/Summer 2010 issue of Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments, our 26th issue, has the theme of "Virtually There" and features a rich mix of literary and technical work including poetry by Sara Talpos, Patricia Clark, C.J. Sage, and many others (with audio); interactive essays by Joe Wilkins, Charles Goodrich, Aisha Sloan, and others; four oustanding stories; an in-depth interview with author Padma Viswanathan; reviews; articles on a post-carbon world and more; the ARTerrain gallery; and the UnSprawl case study.
