Thesis (M.L.A.)--University of Colorado at Denver, 2015.

By studying post-mining sites and reclamation practices in the western United States, this thesis suggests an expanded role for aesthetics in reclamation practice. Looking to history, policy, extraction processes, impacts, and reclamation efforts, an initial survey of the existing terrain of altered and reclaimed landscapes reveals the tendency for reclamation to prioritize the landscape's ability to serve a safe and productive human use. This emphasis tends to neglect or exclude ways in which these sites are already claimed by history, memory, sensory experience, non-human processes and more. Relying on landscape architectural history and theory, this thesis traces the capacity of aesthetics to construct knowledge about the world through sensory perception, to act as a critical and interpretive framework, and to work in combination with other frameworks to formulate problems and solutions in the landscape that acknowledge multiple meanings and values for landscape. Bringing forth existing and emerging methods for approaching site and representation in landscape architecture, this research suggests ways in which these might reveal and find potential in alteration.
