Landscape Journal and Scholarship in Landscape Architecture: The Next 25 Years (original) (raw)

Journal of Landscape Architecture The critical visual landscape

A number of designers and academics, all notable for their innovative approach to landscape architecture, were asked to choose an image that has shaped their landscape imagination over the last thirty years. It could be their own or from another artist or designer. It might have been instrumental in defining the design process of a significant project. It may have been important in suggesting a method or direction for research or practice. Or, it may have had resonance throughout their landscape career. The collection is necessarily heterogeneous. Texts and images together encapsulate a range of particularly landscape architectural considera- tions in content, method, and purpose; a lexicon arising both from looking at images and making them.

Landscape as a Response to Architecture

IAEME PUBLICATION, 2016

The paper tries to investigate the processes through which landscape Design Thinking evolves through the medium of few case studies/studio exercises. These are our experiments to help discuss the long standing creative engagement & the most aspired Integration of Architecture & Landscape. The understanding of these processes is with an objective that will help critically appraise & justify landscape design beyond face value appreciation. Thus it will help establish the validity of a given or created Environment in response to the built. As a discipline, conventionally landscape has always been thought as an interdependent on Architecture. The paper also tries to outreach this aspect where in landscape distills itself from architecture & attempts to gain identity for itself.

Bridging the Gap Between Landscape Architecture and Ecology in Teaching and Design Practice.

Bridging the Gap. ECLAS Conference 2016, Rapperswil, Switzerland. Conference Proceedings., 2016

In a time of ecological crisis and on a man-made planet landscape architects are faced with major new challenges. We discuss growing experiences at the Department of Landscape Architecture at HSR in Rapperswil when preparing Bachelor and Master students in landscape architecture with these novel challenges of their profession at all levels of the curriculum: (1) basics in natural sciences, (2) design classes, (3) history and theory of landscape architecture, (4) interdisciplinary classes co-taught by landscape architects and ecologists, and (5) student projects.
