The Story of Landscape Architecture

- as an art
- as a term
- and as a profession
The fathers of landscape architecture include Gilgamesh, Vitruvius, Hadrian, Alberti, Gilbert Laing Meason, John Claudius Loudon, William Andrews Nesfield, Andrew Jackson Downing, Frederick Law Olmsted and Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe.
The podcast title, "City as Landscape" is also the title of a book published in 1996 with the subtitle "a post-postmodern view of design and planning" and the podcasts will include chapters from this book read by Tom Turner.

landscape architects seem to be facilitating the desecration of the earth. until their designs demonstrate that they have learned to respect the natural world in Every design they create, they will not be worthy of respect and recognition. its a similar problem to science and technology. its not science itself that's bad, but the appliance of science for techologies that are environmentally catastrophic.
