Representing Landscapes

<p>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. <em>Representing Landscapes: One Hundred Years of Visual Communication</em> 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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p> <p><strong>1.</strong> Introduction <em>Nadia Amoroso </em><strong>2.</strong> A System of Expression: Writing and Making Landscapes of Gertrude Jekyll <em>Halina Steiner </em><strong>3.</strong><em> </em>Beatrix Farrand: Representing Landscape in Prose and Drawing <em>Thaisa Way </em><strong>4.</strong><em> </em>Fletcher Steele, the Savvy Practitioner: Desire and the Cultivation of Connoisseurship <em>Martin Holland </em><strong>5.</strong> Topographical and Landform Explorations: Revisiting Noguchi’s Sculptured Landscapes and their Representations <em>Shannon Bassett </em><strong>6.</strong> Burle Marx: The Individual Language of Plenitude <em>Ana Rita Sa Carneiro </em><strong>7.</strong> J.B.
