Professor Arnold Alanen sees the world through different eyes.
Where most people see a grassy mall on campus, he sees the history of agriculture and science at UW-Madison.
Where most people see a defunct ore dock on Lake Superior, he sees an enormous symbol of the mining industry that once dominated the region.
Alanen, a professor of landscape architecture, is an evangelist for cultural landscapes, the intersections of land and human influences that depict our history.
From a home's front lawn to an abandoned factory to an elegantly planned park, cultural landscapes show us how and why we have evolved.
