“What does the landscape architect actually do as a design?”
The authors investigate this seemingly simple question: What
resources are available for designing open spaces? What part is
played by conditions deriving from nature? How are locations and
spaces created in the open air, how are paths routed and boundaries
set, how are hard and soft materials used? Drawing on practical and
theoretical experience, this introduction, often used as a
textbook,reveals the central components of design and the
intellectual paths followed in the design process. “The book is
not so much for reading but for doing. It plays with shapes,
imagining how people feel in these shapes and seeing how shapes
create a different experience of landscape. Vegetation can make the
relief of a hill clearer, less clear, indistinct or hidden. The
authors show this by sketches illustrating the text … As an
example of the way Loidl and Bernard set their readers thinking for
themselves, I quote what they regard as good design: ‘The paradox
of a good design solution: more uniformity needs more variety.’
Food for thought. Or read Open(ing) Spaces.” (Martin Woestenburg
in scape, 2006)
