Inhaltsangabe

For a long time, the goal of landscape architecture was to achieve a stable landscape image. This static perception of nature was, for example, immortalized in countless paintings of the ideal pastoral landscapes of the 18th-century English parks, or in glossy photographs of postmodern garden compositions. A pictorial approach required the strict control of ecological processes such as erosion, decay, emergence, and changes in plant populations—phenomena were considered unfavorable to the aesthetic experience of the landscape. Today, in the context of sustainability, ecological dynamics are increasingly recognised as integral to landscape architecture. The book presents successful examples of the integration of ecological processes into landscape architecture and shows how these principles can be applied.

• In-depth exploration of landscape architecture projects that engage with ecological processes through design
• Landscape design attuned to natural processes as a timely topic
• Practice-oriented and interdisciplinary approach
