This volume provides an in-depth historical overview of graphic and
visual communication styles, techniques, and outputs from key
landscape architects over the past century. Representing
Landscapes: One Hundred Years of Visual Communication offers a
detailed account of how past and present landscape architects and
practitioners have harnessed the power of visualization to frame
and situate their designs within the larger cultural, social,
ecological, and political milieux. The fifth book in the
Representing Landscapes series, the presentations contained within
each of the 25 chapters of this work are not merely drawings and
illustrations but are rather graphic touchstones whose past and
current influence shapes how landscape architects think and operate
within the profession. This collected volume of essays gathers
notable landscape historians, scholars, and designers to offer
their insights on how the landscape has been presented and charts
the development and use of new technologies and contemporary theory
to reveal the conceptual power of the living medium of the larger
landscape. Richly detailed with over 220 colour and black and white
illustrations from some of the discipline's best-known landscape
architects and designers, this work is a 'must-have' for those
studying contemporary landscape design or those fascinated by the
profession's history.
