Discover the vital role of landscape architecture in shaping our environments with ‘Landscape Architecture VSI’ by Ian Thompson. This concise introduction, perfect for “The Bookish Owl” readers, delves into the history and scope of this dynamic discipline. Explore how landscape architects influence everything from business parks and derelict site reclamation to historic parks, infrastructure, and urban planning. Thompson examines the roots of landscape architecture, distinguishing it from landscape gardening, and traces its evolution through Modernism, planning legislation, and contemporary environmental concerns. Is it art or science? This book unpacks the multifaceted nature of landscape architecture, including community projects, post-industrial revitalization, and its connection to ecological urbanism. An essential read for understanding the design and planning of the spaces we inhabit.
