1975年，紐約羅切斯特的喬治伊士曼之家在一次名為「新拓撲」的展覽中展出了十位當代攝影師的作品，這一展覽成為攝影史上一個重要的里程碑。展覽的副標題是「人造景觀的照片」，其中大多數以黑白色調的圖像清晰地描繪了不合理的景觀。研究對象主要是新建住宅的各個階段完工情況，從新建道路到土堆的發展指標。
這些「造人景觀」與原始自然之美相差甚遠，而原始自然之美一直是現代攝影師最喜愛的主題。 「新拓撲圖」相對不起眼的圖像 – 包括作為展覽中的攝影師而聞名 – 概述了新的主題以及新的美學。總而言之，他們對不斷擴大的住房發展蔓延以及這種無節制增長的社會和環境影響提出了疑問。

In 1975, the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, featured the work of ten contemporary photographers in an exhibition titled New Topographics, which became an important milestone in photographic history. The subtitle of the exhibition was “photographs of a man-altered landscape” and the images, most of them in black and white, captured distinctly unheroic vistas. The subjects were primarily new housing developments in various stages of completion, indicators of development from newly-laid roads to mounds of dirt.
These “man-altered landscapes” were a far cry from the celebration of pristine natural beauty which had been a favorite subject of modern photographers. The comparably nondescript images of the New Topographics—as the photographers included in the exhibition came to be known—outlined a new subject as well as a new aesthetic. Taken together, they posed questions about the ever-expanding sprawl of housing developments and the social and environmental implications of this unchecked growth.
