Drawing conceptually and directly on music notation, this book
investigates landscape architecture's inherent temporality. It
argues that the rich history of notating time in music provides a
critical model for this under-researched and under-theorised aspect
of landscape architecture, while also ennobling sound in the
sensory appreciation of landscape. A Musicology for Landscape makes
available to a wider landscape architecture and urban design
audience the works of three influential composers - Morton Feldman,
Gyoergy Ligeti and Michael Finnissy - presenting a critical
evaluation of their work within music, as well as a means in which
it might be used in design research. Each of the musical scores is
juxtaposed with design representations by Kevin Appleyard, Bernard
Tschumi and William Kent, before the author examines four landscape
spaces through the development of new landscape architectural
notations. In doing so, this work offers valuable insights into the
methods used by landscape architects for the benefit of musicians,
and by bringing together musical composition and landscape
architecture through notation, it affords a focused and sensitive
exploration of temporality and sound in both fields.
