Book excerpt: Urban environments (including built, natural, and social environments) crucially impact children's physical and psychological health, particularly in cities. Now children's mentality and safety, and the freedom of traveling and playing have raised concerns in society. In this issue, trans-disciplinary discussions between scholars and practitioners in landscape architecture and environmental psychology, environmental behaviors, human engineering, public health, etc., as well as city managers, would be encouraged to explore the ways to improve urban environments for children's outdoor activities. With such a multi-disciplinary coverage, this issue aims to update landscape architects' theoretical and methodological approaches to issues of children and urban environments, with a deeper understanding of their disciplinary competences, limitations, and challenges thus to find out their irreplaceable role in guaranteeing children's well-beings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observation and representation is a foundational subject in Landscape Architecture. Landscape design is a process shaped by the connections and interactions among designers, users, and the real world, where designers interpret the uniqueness, qualities, and milieu of sites they observed, understood, experienced, and reinterpret them into tangible elements to communicate and resonate with the users; where users also can experience and get empathized by the conveyed ideas or designed realities, as new observers. Designers' horizon and perception is subject to what they have sensed or learned, as well as individual consciousness and expertise, which also lay a foundation and define the tone of their design work. However, quite a few designers have immersed themselves with design stereotypes or been dogmatically pursuing "justice" or "equality," lacking critical thinking and inclusiveness and compromising creativity. This issue aims to explore the ways that help landscape architects: 1) see the scientism of design disciplines and explore the methodological principles of design generation; 2) translate and convey design ideas and emotional inspiration to the users with rich design vocabulary (in size, shape, material, proportion, composition, etc.) through multiple perceptual approaches; 3) read sites from economic, ecological, cultural, and other perspectives to present more convincing and appealing landscape narratives with the aid of emerging technological means; 4) understand various needs of all parties and stakeholders, coordinating interests and benefits and improving the utilization of public resources through landscape design; and 5) create educational places for improving the public's rational and aesthetic norms. Moreover, it hopes that this issue can demonstrate more possibilities of design thinking and methods through cross-disciplinary exchange to make landscape architects understand their roles and the realities better. For instance, in Art Theory "observation and presentation" is more about the logic, medium, and approaches of representation with a respect to individual interpretations on the society, economy, politics, and culture of the real world, which glows as a valuable reference and supplement to the circumstances of landscape architecture.
Download or read book Landscape Architecture Frontiers 48 written by Kongjian Yu and published by Frontiers. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design is a means to satisfy social demands, and such demands come from human desires. Only when individuals' desires fuse and grow into a collective consensus, can they be manifested and conveyed in various landscape forms as new public goods. As a public goods serving human desires and social demands, landscape design faces both challenges and opportunities preceding undergoing public crises. In this issue, LA Frontiers explores the implications of human desires on public behaviors through cross-disciplinary lenses of philosophy, social psychology, cognitive science, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, history, etc. It would offer inspiring insights for landscape professionals to identity their role in responding to contemporary demands and those of future societies. At present, in view of the spatial isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent prevalence of contactless services, the current conventional space-time narrative may be dramatically changed. The fact that both "observing" and "being observed" now become consumer goods within landscape enables landscape architects to recognize and examine people's suppressed desires and unmet needs, introspect the rationality and necessity of marginal desires, and thus, redefine the sophisticated interactions between landscape design and human desires, as well social demands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the eve of its 50th anniversary, theLandscape Architecture Foundation asked a diverse group of the world's leading landscape architects to reflect on the last half-century and present bold ideas for what the discipline should achieve in the future. Well beyond the public conception of the profession as "gardener" or "park designer," these landscape architects discussed their role in addressing weighty issues like climate change, urbanization, management of vital resources like water, and global inequities. The New Landscape Declaration brings together their ideas and experiences in essays from thirty-three preeminent thinkers, including: James Corner, designer of the High Line in New York City Randy Hester, founder of the modern participatory design movement in landscape architecture Kate Orff, researcher, innovator, and design activist Martha Schwartz, acclaimed landscape architect and artist turned activist Carl Steinitz, Geodesign pioneer Richard Weller, prolific design researcher and author Kongjian Yu, celebrated designer, dean, and author from the People's Republic of China The New Landscape Declaration asserts the vital role of landscape architecture in solving the defining issues of our time. Relevant to designers across the globe, the ideas cross disciplinary boundaries and challenge current silos of thought and practice, underscoring the need to diversify, innovate, and create a bold culture of leadership, advocacy, and activism.
Download or read book The Small Place written by Elsa Rehmann and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable collection of material has been gathered in this book for the benefit of the student or for the owner who is to understand the ideas of his landscape architect. An unusual feature is the uniform method of presentation used in all the plans, and the explanatory key plan indicating the kinds of line which represent grass, flowers, shrubs, trees, steps, and so on. Each landscape architect's plan has been redrawn in pen and ink to suitable scale by the same illustrator, Mr. B. Y. Morrison, so that exceptional intelligibility and a pleasing unity result. The photographs used (their viewpoints indicated by arrows on the plans) are also well chosen and well reproduced. Within the limits of the scope set, -the small estate, - a variety of problems is included, representing the work of the following landscape architects: H. A. Caparn, Elizabeth Bootes Clark, Marian C. Coffin, E. Gorton Davis, A. S. DeForest, C. N. Lowrie, Warren H. Manning, Olmsted Brothers, Pray, Hubbard and White, Prentice Sanger, Arthur A. Shurtleff, Sibley C. Smith, and Elizabeth Leonard Strang. The text sympathetically sets forth the ideas of the landscape designers, with comments, and touches general principles of estate design as these are brought out by the examples under discussion. Planting design is well emphasized, but not at the expense of the total effect. Some of the chapters, since revised, appeared as articles in House and Garden and The Garden Magazine. Miss Rehmann's interest in the "small place" was brought to the attention of readers of Landscape Architecture in the July number, when the results of her competition on that subject were announced. -"Landscape Architecture Magazine," Vol. 9 [1918]
