Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Historic Landscape Studies: Olympic National Park This project looks at just four of those historic landscapes. It is a preliminary look at these resources, intended to provide a data base, historic information and, where appropriate, design recommendations and guidelines for preserving a site's landscape integrity. All four sites in this study, Lake Crescent Lodge, Headquarters, Rosemary Inn and Humes Ranch, fall into three general park themes: recreation and development; settlement and homesteading; and park administration. The project itself was conducted over a ten-week period. A team of landscape architects completed field work, historic research, generated base information (including several full size drawings), and developed guidelines and recommendations for each of the four sites. Because the time frame for the study was limited, much of the base data was documented in an inventory or catalogue format which the team developed early in the project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preservation has traditionally focused on saving prominent buildings of historical or architectural significance. Preserving cultural landscapes-the combined fabric of the natural and man-made environments-is a relatively new and often misunderstood idea among preservationists, but it is of increasing importance. The essays collected in this volume-case studies that include the Little Tokyo neighborhood in Los Angeles, the Cross Bronx Expressway, and a rural island in Puget Sound-underscore how this approach can be fruitfully applied. Together, they make clear that a cultural landscape perspective can be an essential underpinning for all historic preservation projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of The Routledge Companion to Landscape Studies contains an updated and expanded selection of original chapters which explore research directions in an array of disciplines sharing a concern for ‘landscape’, a term which has many uses and meanings. It features 33 revised and/or updated chapters and 14 entirely new chapters on topics such as the Anthropocene, Indigenous landscapes, challenging landscape Eurocentrisms, photography and green infrastructure planning. The volume is divided into four parts: Experiencing landscape; Landscape, heritage and culture; Landscape, society and justice; and Design and planning for landscape. Collectively, the book provides a critical review of the various fields related to the study of landscapes, including the future development of conceptual and theoretical approaches, as well as current empirical knowledge and understanding. It encourages dialogue across disciplinary barriers and between academics and practitioners, and reflects upon the implications of research findings for local, national and international policy in relation to landscape. The Companion provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to current thinking about landscapes, and serves as an invaluable point of reference for scholars, researchers and graduate students alike.

Book excerpt: William Cronon, a professor of history, geography, and environmental studies at the University of Wisconsin, once spoke about his belief that history is not the past; but it is the stories we tell about the past. Many historic items and elements disappear with time. One of the ways people perpetuate history is through stories. However, facts can be elusive in stories; so the more that is known about the history, the more accurate the story. As well, stories told over time tend to lose details. Recording the pieces of history helps to maintain the credibility of the subject and prevent memories from altering the information. To record accurately, there are certain processes involved. This dissertation seeks to understand those important steps and put some of the pieces together for Yolo County's historic landscapes of 1840-1880. There are many questions, which spawn other questions; but there are not as many answers, and never will be. Not everything can be read or told of these historic landscapes. Knowing what questions to ask and practices to take will help in reading and understanding what is there and what it was like long before this time. In reading the landscapes of the first Euro-American Settlers of Yolo County there are several areas of study that are important to include. This research focuses on four of those: geography, architecture, landscapes and plants, and historic preservation. At the center of these areas is landscape; without it, there is no geography. Architecture depends on the land for structure. Landscapes are looked at in the cultural sense where they have been touched by human hands. All plants have a connection to the land. This research is not intended to be conclusive, but informative. The research does not include areas such as archaeology, nor are personal accountings of the time examined. Since certain questions can only be answered by those who settled the land, reliance on some collected stories was necessary. Yolo County was chosen as the research site because of the remarkable number of existing historic places and the great effort by many within the County to tell their history. These stories were found to be fairly credible since many descendents are still living on the family landscapes. On completion of this study it was found that research can only take one so far into the past. The element of human experience and life within this time period cannot be experienced, nor even fully understood. The geography and the landscape have changed little in some respects and remarkably in others, particularly in the cultural sense. That so much of the architecture still survives and is used is amazing; and the fact that the communities within the County continue to embrace this part of their history is promising for future preservation. The importance of archaeology in reading the landscapes cannot be understated. It is a tool that can open the landscapes to much more vivid understanding. But there is still that human element that ultimately controls what is accessible, what is accomplished, and what is understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume now includes the most recent and most interesting efforts by artists--often in collaboration with architects and city planners--to transform ravaged landscapes and desolate cityscapes into pleasure-giving parks and artworks. After an introduction tracing the historical roots of art in the landscape, the opening chapter deals with such innovative artists as Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, and Christo, who in the 1960s began to free their art from the confines of tradition by constructing monumental sculptures in the environment. The following chapters discuss their predecessors, peers, and successors, including Constantin Brancusi, James Turrell, and many others. The final three chapters explore the increasing involvement of artists in land reclamation and urban design, featuring projects by Mel Chin, Maya Lin, Martin Puryear, and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Penetrating insight into the processes by which our collective historical memory is constructed. Through a range of case studies, the authors explore how and why certain landscapes and monuments are intentionally endowed with specific messages, why certain stories are obscured or forgotten, and how collective memories change over time." --James Delle, Franklin and Marshall College The authors in this collection show how the creation of a collective memory of highly visible objects and landscapes is an ongoing struggle, their meanings always being constructed, changed, and challenged. The sites and symbols the authors address are nationally recognized and include a balance of places that illuminate class, ethnic, racial, and historical experiences. Focusing on material culture, they explore the tensions that exist among various groups--elite landowners, the National Park Service, preservationists, minority groups--who compete for control over the interpretation of American public history.
