The critical visual landscape

A number of designers and academics, all notable for their innovative approach to landscape architecture, were asked to choose an image that has shaped their landscape imagination over the last thirty years. It could be their own or from another artist or designer. It might have been instrumental in defining the design process of a significant project. It may have been important in suggesting a method or direction for research or practice. Or, it may have had resonance throughout their landscape career. The collection is necessarily heterogeneous. Texts and images togetherencapsulate a range of particularly landscape architectural considerations in content, method, and purpose; a lexicon arising both from looking at images and making them.
