Fieldwork in Landscape Architecture
Fieldwork in Landscape Architecture: Methods, Actions, Tools addresses the initial encounters between the landscape designer and the landscape site, an encounter that determines the entire course of the design process.
The book offers a four-part framework ('what you seek,' 'what you carry,' 'how you act,' and 'what you leave behind') for learning and practising fieldwork as a landscape design skill. It contains over sixty first-person accounts by international practitioners and educators about the methods and tools they bring to the field, from drones to dance.
The first title of its kind, Fieldwork will be an invaluable resource for students and instructors of landscape architecture, as well as for anyone interested in the practice and experience of direct encounters with real places.
