It has been argued that the history of landscape and of gardens has
been marginalized from the mainstream of art history and visual
studies because of a lack of engagement with the theories, methods
and concepts of these disciplines. This book explores possible ways
out of this impasse in such a way that landscape studies would
become pivotal through its theoretical advances, since landscape
studies would challenge the underlying assumptions of traditional
phenomenological theory. Thus the history and theory of
twentieth-century landscape might not only once again share
concepts and methods with contemporary art and design history, but
might in turn influence them. A complementary sequel to Relating
Architecture to Landscape, this volume of essays explores further
areas of interest and discussion in the landscape/architecture
debate and offers contributions from a team of well-known
researchers, teachers and writers. The choice of topics is
wide-ranging and features case studies of modern and contemporary
schemes from the USA, Far East and Australasia.
