Revealing Change in Cultural Landscapes: Material, Spatial and Ecological Considerations


Add your own review!

Overview

This book explores different design approaches to revealing change within a landscape, and examines how landscape designers bring together the cultural context of a specific place with material, spatial and ecological considerations. Revealing Change in Cultural Landscapes includes case studies such as Gilles Clément’s Jardin du Tiers-Paysage in France, the Brick Pit in Sydney, Australia and Georges Descombes’ Renaturation of the River Aire in Switzerland to uncover the insights of designers. In doing so, Catherine Heatherington considers the different ways designers approach the revealing of change and how this informs a discussion about people’s perceptions and understanding of landscape. With over 100 images and contributions from Jacky Bowring, Dermot Foley and Krystallia Kamvasinou, this book will be beneficial for students of landscape and landscape architecture, particularly those with an interest in how landscapes change over time and how this is perceived by both designers and visitors.

Reviews

For me, great landscape architecture results from an ongoing philosophical response to time and place. It reflects a culture wrestling with its relationship to nature in all its forms. In her book, Revealing Change in Cultural Landscapes: Material, Spatial and Ecological Considerations Catherine Heatherington explores this issue with great care. This is a probing piece of work where philosophical positions are interrogated, past and possible direction acknowledged and exemplar-built works discussed. But most importantly, the reader is left to form their own conclusion, and, in this way, the door is left open for new possibilities. - Philip Coxall, Chairman, McGregor Coxall
