Product Description

Product Description

Here, for students and practitioners of landscape architecture, architecture, and planning, is a single resource for seminal theoretical texts in the field. Essential for understanding the specific connections that have been made between landscape and social, cultural, and political structures, "Theory in Landscape Architecture" reminds readers that the discipline of landscape architecture can be both practical and formally challenging. Covering the past fifty years of theory, this primer makes an important contribution to a student's emerging professional ethics.


About the Author

Simon Swaffield is Professor of Landscape Architecture at Lincoln University, New Zealand.

(REAL NAME)   
Very useful, have only read one chapter so far, but I can see it becoming very useful in years to come when I begin to study the subject at university.
