Inhaltsangabe

The Design Competition in Landscape Architecture is the first book devoted to helping professional and academic design studios comprehensively plan for successful competition entries. Divided into five sections, the book provides an overview of the history and development of modern design competitions, includes interviews with world-renowned landscape architects and designers, offers a pedagogical approach to competition studios as part of a college curriculum, showcases award-winning designs from landscape architecture faculty and students (including built projects), and reflects on future directions for landscape architecture design competitions. Crawford and Kambic’s writing shines a spotlight on the critical role competitions play in school and practice and highlights how competitions help give shape and identity to the places in which we live.
