Landscape Architects Love to Talk about Representation
Keywords:
digital, design, creativity, representationAbstract
Take a look at the Routledge Representing Landscape series published from 2012-2024. Visualising Climate Change, Analogue, Hybrid and Digital, are just a few of the titles. Landscape architects love to talk about representation. It was through the lens of representation that landscape architects first considered the impact of digital technology leading to extensive debate over a projected loss of a creativity. In contrast architecture, inspired by the work of Deleuze and Guattari, explored the potentials of parametric tools emerging from the car and aviation industry to speculate on novel ideas of smooth space and continuous variation. But landscape architecture’s comfort zone is not speculation. It is representation.
