Defining a research question, describing why it needs to be answered and explaining how methods are selected and applied are challenging tasks for anyone embarking on academic research within the field of landscape architecture. Whether you are an early career researcher or a senior academic, it is essential to draw meaningful conclusions and robust answers to research questions. Research in Landscape Architecture provides guidance on the rationales needed for selecting methods and offers direction to help to frame and design academic research within the discipline. Over the last couple of decades the traditional orientation in landscape architecture as a field of professional practice has gradually been complemented by a growing focus on research. This book will help you to develop the connections between research, teaching and practice, to help you to build a common framework of theory and research methods. Bringing together contributions from landscape architects across the world, this book covers a broad range of research methodologies and examples to help you conduct research successfully. Also included is a study in which the editors discuss the most important priorities for the research within the discipline over the coming years. This book will provide a definitive path to developing research within landscape architecture.

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]

Aimed at prospective and new students, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the nature and practice of landscape architecture, the professional skills required and the latest developments. After discussing the history of the profession, the book explains the design process through principles such as hierarchy, human scale, unity, harmony, asymmetry, colour, form and texture. It looks at how design is represented through both drawing and modelling, and through digital techniques such as CAD and the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems). This is followed by an examination of project management and landscape management techniques. Finally, the book explores educational and employment opportunities and the future of the profession in the context of climate change and sustainability. Illustrated with international examples of completed projects, Landscape Architecture provides an invaluable, one-stop resource for anyone considering studying or a career in this field.
