Abstract: Writing tends to be underappreciated in the design professions. This is partly due to the importance of spatial information—traditionally visualized through hand-drawn graphics and now with computer-aided 2D and 3D modeling. Yet writing is a lasting and powerful form of communication, capable of enhancing design thinking, advancing careers, and influencing public policy on pressing social, economic, and environmental issues.Nevertheless, writing remains a secondary or even tertiary priority in many accredited landscape architecture education programs.A Frameworks Institute report (funded by the ASLA, CLARB, LAF, LAAB, and CELA), which examined how landscape architecture is perceived by other disciplines and the ...

Abstract: This Spring 2024 issue of Landscape Journal has six articles and four book reviews. The first two articles focus on urban parks in cities with unique cultural histories and socioecological contexts. The research article by Binita Mahato examines the historical effects of park segregation and unequal investment on current park design in Montgomery, AL. Her article raises social justice questions with serious public policy implications. The second article, by Vicente Zárate-Flores and Lane Fargher-Navarro, examines the modifications made during the Covid-19 pandemic to parks in Merida, a city in Yucatan, Mexico. The piece examines and critiques the decision-making process that led to these changes and analyzes their ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Segregation of urban parks by race has been a legacy of racial biases in urban planning in the United States, particularly in the South. As the birthplace of the American Civil Rights Movement, Montgomery, AL, has experienced a long history of racial segregation of urban parks protected by city officials and white southerners (Byrne & Wolch, 2009). Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 officially desegregated parks, informal park segregation remained commonplace and was tacitly enabled by the city (Rabkin, 1954; Byrne et al., 2007). This article investigates contemporary remnants of racial segregation in urban parks in Montgomery with the aim of connecting the issues of park access with Environmental Justice (EJ) ...

Abstract: Cities, the most populous human environments on Earth, are constantly growing and currently constitute 56% of the world’s population (World Bank, 2022). This presents myriad challenges to overcome in many areas, including, for example, tourism (Christensen, 2022; Novy & Colomb, 2019), health (Pineo, 2022), politics (Fortner, 2021), social lives (Asén et al., 2021), and urban design (Anirudh et al., 2021; Eizenberg, 2018). Space is at a premium, so one particular challenge is the construction, maintenance, and remolding of quality public settings, such as sidewalks, parks, and plazas (Carmona, 2021; Jacobs, 1961; Konijnendijk et al., 2013; Maller et al., 2009). These problems became especially acute during the ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Urbanization contributes to the growth of unsafe conditions in cities, with excessive amounts of paved surfaces, increased vehicular use and roadway expansion, reduced engagement in physical activities resulting from low connectivity and growing automobile travel, and water pollution and higher temperatures (Frumkin, 2002). An effective means of treating the urban watershed issues raised by these urban developments is Green Infrastructure (GI), which has the added benefits of restoring altered ground conditions close to pre-development state and treating the stormwater runoff at its source (Epps & Hathaway, 2019). GI mainly uses natural materials (plants and soils) and mimics natural processes of treating ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Drawing, and communicating information visually, is a key component in landscape architecture as a professional practice and academic discipline. The field has adapted and developed multiple drawing conventions to convey information to collaborators, engage with community members, and communicate technical requirements for construction. As designers continue to critically address “wicked” interdisciplinary challenges of the Anthropocene, new research approaches and representational frameworks are needed to deal with complex processes; explicitly integrate multiple, diverse, and interdisciplinary perspectives; and facilitate the translation and communication of research to broader audiences (Prominski, 2019; ...

Abstract: Periodic review of academic curricula is critical to understanding whether a program is providing a rigorous and logical plan of study. Design curricula can become unbalanced, with unintentional shifts in content expression as faculty retire or move to different institutions, to be replaced by new faculty teaching new courses. Without external accreditation, design programs are likely to face difficulty in balancing professional competence with their areas of focus and reputations. Formal curricular review is an integral part of strategic planning that keeps design programs aligned with intended foci and up to date with contemporary issues, techniques, and theories. Regular self-assessment and data collection can ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Throughout U.S. history, women have collectively worked to gain their rights and freedoms to vote, to become educated, and to work. The first official women’s rights gathering, the Seneca Falls Convention, was held in 1848. The group of five women leading it, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Mary Ann M’Clintock, Martha Wright, and Jane Hunt, drafted an outline for the convention to discuss the “social, civic, and religious conditions of women” (Seneca Falls Convention, 2017). The Declaration of Sentiments manifesto, developed and signed by 300 men and women, proclaimed in words inspired by the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal.” The ...

Abstract: Architects, landscape architects, and urban designers experiment daily with color and lighting effects in their professional practices. Over the past decade, architectural and cultural studies have had reinvigorated discussions about color, yet despite its importance for landscape design, scholarly inquiry in the field has been minimal.This book posits that color and lighting effects may be designed to appear natural and have impacts that are fleeting and difficult to comprehend, but sensory palettes of built landscapes and gardens have been carefully constructed to shape our experience and evoke meaning and place character. Landscape Design in Color: History, Theory, and Practice 1750 to Today is an inquiry into ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Landscape architects have long subscribed to the belief that improving the landscape automatically brings about the moral and social improvement of society, but recently design professionals have problematized their discipline’s apparent past and ongoing complicity with political and economic forces that create socially and environmentally unjust constructed environments. Constructed environments are physical manifestations of not only political, social, and economic power but of beliefs, values, and practices: bound up with any “landscape culture” is a taken-forgranted moral geography (Wylie, 2007). Thus, landscape improvement initiatives not only reflect a particular social formation, but are contingent on ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-21T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In his new book, Beyond Greenways: The Next Step for City Trails and Walking Routes, Robert Searns gives guidance for designing and implementing greenway walking trails at three different scales: grand loop regional trails, town walks, and neighborhood walks. Having been involved with greenway research and development as part of the Fábos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning (Smardon, 2021), and having met Searns in Syracuse, NY, in the early 2000s at the beginning of the Onondaga Creek Revitalization Plan, this reviewer was keen to read the latest work of this early greenway development innovator and co-author of two other related books—Greenways: A Guide to Planning Design and Development (Flink et al. ...
