Landscape Architecture and Digital Technologies explores how
digital technologies are reshaping design and making in landscape
architecture. While the potentials of digital technologies are well
documented within landscape planning and visualisation, their
application within design practice is far less understood. This
book highlights the role of the digital model in encouraging a new
design logic that moves from the privileging of the visual to a
focus on processes of formation, bridging the interface of the
conceptual and material, the virtual and the physical. Drawing on
interviews and projects from a range of international designers
-including , Snohetta, Arup, Gustafson Porter, ASPECT Studios,
Grant Associates, Catherine Mosbach, Philippe Rahm, PARKKIM, LAAC
and PEG office of landscape + architecture among others, the
authors explore the influence of parametric modelling, scripting,
real-time data, simulation, prototyping, fabrication, and Building
Information Modelling on the design and construction of
contemporary landscapes. This engagement with practice is expanded
through critical reflection from academics involved in landscape
architecture programs around the world that are reshaping their
research and pedagogy to reflect an expanded digital realm.
Crossing critical theory, technology and contemporary design, the
book constructs a picture of an emerging twenty-first century
practice of landscape architecture practice premised on complexity
and performance. It also highlights the disciplinary demands and
challenges in engaging with a rapidly evolving digital context
within practice and education. The book is of immense value to
professionals and researchers, and is a key publication for digital
landscape courses at all levels.
