CNC has been used as a tool of landscape and of parts and pieces. Just as i see the mound. It’s a topographic element, formed from topography lines, broken into legible parts and pieces. Through these pieces and their refusal to be read as a consistent whole, I argue that the mound moves away from the landscape building and becomes something else entirely.
