1975年，纽约罗切斯特的乔治伊士曼之家在一次名为「新拓扑」的展览中展出了十位当代摄影师的作品，这一展览成为摄影史上一个重要的里程碑。展览的副标题是「人造景观的照片」，其中大多数以黑白色调的图像清晰地描绘了不合理的景观。研究对象主要是新建住宅的各个阶段完工情况，从新建道路到土堆的发展指标。
这些「造人景观」与原始自然之美相差甚远，而原始自然之美一直是现代摄影师最喜爱的主题。 「新拓扑图」相对不起眼的图像 – 包括作为展览中的摄影师而闻名 – 概述了新的主题以及新的美学。总而言之，他们对不断扩大的住房发展蔓延以及这种无节制增长的社会和环境影响提出了疑问。

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.
