The field of Landscape Urbanism, being led by visionaries such as Rem Koolhaas, Charles Waldheim, James Corner, and others have adopted this position. They base their designs on “programs” that each site, city, or building must implement, but also recognize that each design is in and of itself a continually unfolding process in time. Some of the results have been fantastic such as the High Line (http://www.thehighline.org/) in NYC.I don't know of any designers in the Middle East that consider themselves landscape urbanists, but it would great to hear about any work that falls in to this category or engages this type or process thinking. Thanks for sharing!
