The Configuration of Landscape Thought
At the beginning of my professional career in architecture, landscape was a subject that I found both intriguing and distinct. When I was searching for a term that could articulate my personal professional direction and the approach of my architectural practice, as well as for a name for the practice itself, “landscape” was the first word that came to mind. Its significance for me lay in both the diversity and breadth of the subject and its distinction from architecture, qualities that gave it a particular value.
Landscape is a seemingly familiar and clearly defined term. Yet its scope encompasses a wide range of components and elements of the world around us, whether considered individually or as part of larger assemblages. Throughout history, the concept of landscape has been closely associated with various fields of knowledge, most notably geography. At the same time, landscape appears to be deeply intertwined with the cultural values of each people and nation. Understanding landscape from this perspective therefore requires an awareness of the values shared and acknowledged within that particular culture or society.
This book brings together eight essays by thinkers and scholars in the field of landscape. Each of these eight essays examines landscape architecture from a distinct perspective. Together, these perspectives seek to articulate the concepts underlying landscape, its applications, and the role of the landscape architect in relation to the contemporary world.
