Today, designers are shifting the practice of landscape
architecture towards the need for a more complex understanding of
ecological science. Constructed Ecologies presents ecology as
critical theory for design, and provides major ideas for design
that are supported with solid and imaginative science. In the
questioning narrative of Constructed Ecologies, the author discards
many old and tired theories in landscape architecture. With
detailed documentation, she casts off the savannah theory,
critiques the search for universals, reveals the needed role of
designers in large-scale agriculture, abandons the overlay
technique of McHarg, and introduces the ecological and urban health
urgency of public night lighting. Margaret Grose presents
wide-ranging new approaches and shows the importance of learning
from science for design, of going beyond assumptions, of working in
multiple rather than single issues, of disrupting linear design
thinking, and of dealing with data. This book is written with a
clear voice by an ecologist and landscape architect who has led
design students into loving ecological science for the support it
gives design.
