Architects, landscape architects and urban designers experiment
with color and lighting effects in their daily professional
practice. Over the past decade, there has been a reinvigorated
discussion on color within architectural and cultural studies. Yet,
scholarly enquiry within landscape architecture has been minimal
despite its important role in landscape design. This book posits
that though color and lighting effects appear natural, fleeting,
and difficult to comprehend, the sensory palette of built
landscapes and gardens has been carefully constructed to shape our
experience and evoke meaning and place character. Landscape Design
in Color: History, Theory, and Practice 1750 to Today is an inquiry
into the themes, theories, and debates on color and its impact on
practice in Western landscape architecture over the past three
centuries. Divided into three key periods, each chapter in the book
looks at the use of color in the written and built work of key
prominent designers. The book investigates thematic juxtapositions
such as: natural and artificial; color and line; design and
draftsmanship; sensation and concept; imitation and translation;
deception and display; and decoration and structure, and how these
have appeared, faded, disappeared, and reappeared throughout the
ages. Richly designed and illustrated in full color throughout,
including color palettes, this book is a must-have resource for
students, scholars, and design professionals in landscape
architecture and its allied disciplines.
