The successful realisation of diversity, resilience, usefulness,
profitability, or beauty in landscape design requires a firm
understanding of the stakeholders' values. This collection, which
incorporates a wide variety of geographic locations and cultural
perspectives, reinforces the necessity for clear and articulate
comprehension of the many factors that guide the design process. As
the contributors to this collection reveal, dominant and emerging
social, political, philosophical, and economic concerns perpetually
assert themselves in designed landscapes, from manifestations of
class consciousness in Napa Valley vineyards to recurring themes
and conflicts in American commemorative culture as seen in designs
for national memorials. One essay demonstrates the lasting impact
of the doctrine of Manifest Destiny on the culture and spaces of
the Midwest, while another considers the shifting historical
narratives that led to the de-domestication and subsequent
re-wilding of the Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. These
eleven essays help foster the ability to conduct a balanced
analysis of various value systems and produce a lucid visualization
of the necessary tradeoffs. Offering an array of case studies and
theoretical arguments, Values in Landscape Architecture and
Environmental Design encourages professionals and educators to
bring self-awareness, precision, and accountability to their
consideration of landscape designs.
