Representing Landscapes: One Hundred Years of Visual Communication: Representing Landscapes

Editat de Nadia Amoroso, Martin Holland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2022
This volume provides an in-depth historical overview of graphic and visual communication styles, techniques, and outputs from key landscape architects over the past century. Representing Landscapes: One Hundred Years of Visual Communication offers a detailed account of how past and present landscape architects and practitioners have harnessed the power of visualization to frame and situate their designs within the larger cultural, social, ecological, and political milieux.
The fifth book in the Representing Landscapes series, the presentations contained within each of the 25 chapters of this work are not merely drawings and illustrations but are rather graphic touchstones whose past and current influence shapes how landscape architects think and operate within the profession. This collected volume of essays gathers notable landscape historians, scholars, and designers to offer their insights on how the landscape has been presented and charts the development and use of new technologies and contemporary theory to reveal the conceptual power of the living medium of the larger landscape.
Richly detailed with over 220 colour and black and white illustrations from some of the discipline’s best-known landscape architects and designers, this work is a ‘must-have’ for those studying contemporary landscape design or those fascinated by the profession’s history.

Recenzii

"In this book, I find many of my favorite landscape drawings discussed with new insights from a diverse group of landscape architects and scholars. Personal stories are drawn out in this compendium of essays organized around the work of historic landscape architects (Farrand, Church, Burle-Marx, McHarg, Brunier, and others) and contemporary landscape architects (Walker, Hood, Smith, Geuze, and others). Along the way, we learn a history of representation techniques, drawing materials, and landscape theory through the eyes, and hands, of landscape representation."
Ron Henderson FASLA, Professor and Director, Landscape Architecture + Urbanism Program, Illinois Institute of Technology
"Amoroso’s and Holland’s book provides a fascinating cross-section through the repertoire of representation techniques used by landscape architects over the past 100 years. This book features a detailed deconstruction of the seductive and immersive visuals of GROSS.MAX produced with the late Ross Ballard, a deep dive into the archive of West 8, whose collages radiate as much vitality as when they were produced in the 1980’s, and never before seen hand drawings by James Corner. This book will bring fresh inspiration to craft powerful and purposeful visual work to move the profession forward for the next 100 years. Crucially, it reminds us that representation is not linear or circular; it is an evolutionary process that emerges to meet the needs of the designer to communicate a vision to positively impact the world."
Cannon Ivers, Director of Design at LDA Design, London, Teaching Fellow-Bartlett School of Landscape Architecture
