A Philosophy of Landscape Construction outlines a philosophy of
values in landscape construction, demonstrating how integral
structures, such as pavements and walls, constitute a key element
to how people interact with and inhabit the final design. The book
discusses how these structures enable, assist and care for people,
negotiating between the dynamic processes of site ecosystems and
the soil on which they are founded. They articulate spatial,
functional, cultural and ecological meanings. Within this
theoretical framework, designers will learn to recognize and insert
a set of core values into the most technical design stages to reach
their full potential. By offering a new perspective on landscape
construction, moving away from the exclusively technical
characteristics, this book allows landscape architects to realise
the ideal vision for their designs. It is abundantly illustrated
with examples from which designers can learn both successes and
failures and will be an essential companion to any study of built
landscapes.
