Taylor & Francis Ltd Conceptual Landscapes
Book SynopsisConceptual Landscapes explores the dilemma faced in the early moments of design thinking through a gradient of work in landscape and environmental design media by both emerging and well-established designers and educators of landscape architecture. It questions where and, more importantly, how the process of design starts. The book deconstructs the steps of conceptualizing design in order to reignite pedagogical discussions about timing and design fundamentals, and to reveal how the spark of an idea happens from a range of unique perspectives. Through a careful arrangement of visual essays that integrate analog, digital, and mixed-media works and processes, the book highlights differences between diverse techniques and triggers debate between design, representation, technology, and creative culture in the field. Taken together, the book's visual investigation of the conceptual design process serves as a learning tool for aspiring designers and sTrade Review"How do we initiate the sometimes exhilarating, sometimes frustrating, sometimes daunting process of creativity that leads from inception through iteration and interrogation to a coherent and lush and functional design? Simon Bussiere and his colleagues from teaching institutions around the world probe the depths of this question for landscape architecture students and emerging professionals—and even the more seasoned among us—exploring not one or two but a multitude of starting points for the creative process. In doing so, Bussiere offers us insights into the critical minds of leading academics—giving us a clear and comprehensive sense of the state of the contemporary academy. More importantly, however, the sheer diversity of approaches invites young and aspiring designers into the conversation, begging for them to write the next chapters of design teaching as they explore their own individualized and situated understandings of the world today. A remarkable collection for those interested in understanding how new ideas are born."Chris Reed, FASLA, Founding Director, Stoss Landscape Urbanism, Professor in Practice of Landscape Architecture, Harvard Graduate School of Design"The design "concept," and the mysteries of how conceptualization ossifies is always a profound topic among beginning design students and among seasoned practitioners. What Simon expertly curates in Conceptual Landscapes is a series of essays that unpack a plurality of approaches to concept generation. Importantly, the manuscript highlights the humanity in design and makes the case for promoting a diversity of voices in the design professions in an age where society is often looking for technologies and metrics to solve complex problems. Conceptual Landscapes will serve as an important text for beginning design students and those interested in the formation of landscape design ideas for years to come."Bradley Cantrell, FAAR, ASLA, Chair and Professor in Landscape Architecture, University of Virginia School of Architecture"What I appreciate most about Simon Bussiere's approach to the topic of ‘conceptualization’ is his understanding that ideas are found in myriad experiences, sources and processes, from individual to the collective consciousness. He has assembled the knowledge base and reflections of significant practitioners and academics to explore the realm of creativity, and how that informs how landscapes are written and read. This publication will surely be on every burgeoning landscape architect’s ‘must read’ list."David A. Rubin, FASLA, Founding Principal, DAVID RUBIN Land Collective"Clearly, Bussiere delights in the ‘ephemeral, sporadic, recursive, and bewildering’ nature of the creative process. Fortunately for readers, he has assembled here a diverse and charismatic array of landscape architecture professors and practitioners, whose approaches and methods embody the endless possibilities of conceptualizing landscapes. Readers are likely to leave this volume more humble yet more courageous designers."Timothy A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nature through a Hospital Window
Book SynopsisAdopting an evidence-based approach, this book uses two state-of-the-art experimental studies to explore natureâs therapeutic benefits in healthcare environments, emphasizing how windows and transparent spaces can strengthen peopleânature interactions. High-quality, supportive, and patient-centred healthcare environments are a key priority for healthcare designers worldwide, with ageing populations creating a demand for remodeled and updated facilities. The first study demonstrates individual psychophysiological responses, moods, and preferences in simulated hospital waiting areas with different levels of visual access to nature through windows, while the second experiment uses cutting-edge immersive virtual reality techniques to explore how gardens and nature views impact peopleâs spatial cognition, wayfinding behaviors, and experience when navigating hospitals. Through these studies and discussions drawing on architectural theory, the book highlights the important benefits of having access to nature from hospital interiors. This concise volume will appeal to academics and designers interested in therapeutic landscapes and healthcare architecture.Table of ContentsCONTENTSList of figuresList of tablesAcknowledgementsCHAPTER 1.
