Taylor & Francis Ltd Why Cities Need Large Parks
Book SynopsisThe large parks and green infrastructure presented here illustrate the diverse uses and many benefits of large urban parks across 30 major cities. Demand for large urban parks emerged at the height of the First Industrial Revolution in the mid-1800s, when large urban parks represented new ideas of accessible public spaces, often established on land previously owned by aristocracy, royalty or the army. They represented new ideas on how city life could be improved and how large green spaces could enhance urban citizensâ physical and psychological well-being (e.g. Birkenhead Park in Liverpool, Bois de Boulogne in Paris, Tiergarten in Berlin and Central Park in New York City). Today, large urban parks are habitats for biodiversity and spaces of climate change adaptation. For people living in cities, this biodiversity may represent high cultural, recreational and aesthetic values, but is also important for other aspects of health and well-being, for example by reducing the urban heat islTrade Review"The book is absolutely unique and should be the standard reference on this important subject for years ahead."—Richard T. T. Forman, PAES Professor of Landscape Ecology Emeritus, Harvard University"Read it, I am sure it will inspire you to care for and share the green treasures of your cities!"—Håkan Wirtén, Secretary General, WWF Sweden"This book details the much needed evidence, the pathways and the vision for future livable more resilient cities where Large Urban Parks are at the core."—Thomas Elmqvist, Professor in Natural Resource Management at Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm UniversityTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Landscape Performance Modeling Using Rhino and
Book SynopsisThis is a guidebook for landscape architects to learn the fundamental practices and use of the computational software Rhino 3D and the plugin Grasshopper for parametric modeling, landscape inventory, and performative analysis. This process visually connects intangible and abstract information with physical and spatial relationships to signify the impact ecological, climate, and cultural factors have on landscape performance and decision making. Each chapter begins with a summary of the performance method and its application in different projects, outlining the expected goals from industry standard equations and operations. Chapters cover parametric modeling scripts to measure ecosystem services of stormwater management, erosion control, tree benefits, outdoor comfort, accessibility, and many others. Using photographs, tables, and parametric scripts to create qualitative and quantitative representations of landscape performance and ecosystem services, readers will learn to communicate the impact and significance of their outputs.

Book SynopsisIn this handbook, 60 authors, senior and junior educators, and researchers from six continents provide an overview of 200 years of landscape architectural education. They tell the stories of schools and people, of visions, and of experiments that constitute landscape architecture education heritage. Through taking an international perspective, the handbook centers inclusivity with an appreciation for how education develops in different political and societal contexts. Part I introduces the field of education history research, including research approaches and international research exchange. Spanning more than 100 years, Parts II and III investigate and compare early and recent histories of landscape architecture education in different countries and schools. In Part IV, the book offers new perspectives for landscape architecture education. Education research presents a substantial opportunity for challenging studies to increase the pedagogic and didactic, the academic and hisTrade Review"This book provides welcome perspectives on the education of landscape professionals that generate both a starting point for a more profound understanding of the historical position of landscape architecture, as well as ideas of where the profession might take us in view of the contemporary environmental and social challenges facing humanity."Jan Woudstra, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Sheffield, UK"This comprehensive handbook shares insights into landscape architecture education that are unprecedented in extent and depth. It describes and compares concepts and practices of education that are applied during the last two hundred years and addresses a wide range of perspectives by examining cases from around the world.

Taylor & Francis Planting Design
Book SynopsisLandscape designers have long understood the use of plants to provide beauty, aesthetic pleasure and visual stimulation while supporting a broad range of functional goals. However, the potential for plants in the landscape to elicit human involvement and provide mental stimulation and restoration is much less well understood. This book meshes the art of planting design with an understanding of how humans respond to natural environments. Beginning with an understanding of human needs, preferences and responses to landscape, the author interprets the ways in which an understanding of the human-environment interaction can inform planting design. Many of the principles and techniques that may be used in planting design are beautifully illustrated in full colour with examples by leading landscape architects and designers from the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Asia, including: Andrea Cochran, Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture, San Francisco, CA<Trade Review"Planting Design begins with a comprehensive overview of the scientific theories which explain why people have such strong emotional responses to nature. Dr. Mooney then distills this research into practical design principles that help us understand how our aesthetic preferences are formed through spatial structure, pattern, colour and light. This book validated many of the intuitive decisions I made over years of practice - it will be an interesting read as well as a source of inspiration for both the novice garden designer and the seasoned landscape architect." —Andrea Cochran, Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture "This ambitious book attempts to ground planting design in research-based decisions that extend beyond traditional categories of knowledge such as horticulture and aesthetics to include human-centered concepts of the environment. Across seven chapters of history and theory, Patrick Mooney ASLA, a landscape architect who teaches at the University of British Columbia, includes examples from projects by Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture, Melody Redekop, and Kongjian Yu, FASLA, among others. Mooney argues in his book for integrating new understandings of the ways humans interact with their environments, synthesizing ideas across several fields to advocate for designing multifunctional landscapes." —Landscape Architecture Magazine, Vol. 110 No. 7 Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food
Book SynopsisSince the turn of the millennium, there has been a burgeoning interest in, and literature of, both landscape studies and food studies. Landscape describes places as relationships and processes. Landscapes create peopleâs identities and guide their actions and their preferences, while at the same time are shaped by the actions and forces of people. Food, as currency, medium, and sustenance, is a fundamental part of those landscape relationships.This volume brings together over fifty contributors from around the world in forty profoundly interdisciplinary chapters. Chapter authors represent an astonishing range of disciplines, from agronomy, anthropology, archaeology, conservation, countryside management, cultural studies, ecology, ethics, geography, heritage studies, landscape architecture, landscape management and planning, literature, urban design and architecture. Both food studies and landscape studies defy comprehension from the perspective of a single discipline, and thus such a range is both necessary and enriching.The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is intended as a first port of call for scholars and researchers seeking to undertake new work at the many intersections of landscape and food. Each chapter provides an authoritative overview, a broad range of pertinent readings and references, and seeks to identify areas where new research is neededâthough these may also be identified in the many fertile areas in which subjects and chapters overlap within the book.Trade Review"Waterman and Zeunert have edited an exemplary interdisciplinary volume of great topical scope and profound conceptual depth. From landscape to seascape, Neolithic and Aboriginal to modern and globalized, the ecological to the utopian, The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food offers culinary wisdom, sociological analysis and ethical guidance. It is an indispensable book which promises to inaugurate a new epoch of both culinary and landscape studies."Allen S. Weiss, author of Zen Landscapes (Reaktion Books) and Feast and Folly (State University of New York Press)"In The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food, Joshua Zeunert and Tim Waterman present core samples of the many scales and systems engaged by food, food production, and food distribution. Their collection of essays ranges from the broadest historical survey to the focused case study across geographies and cultures, methods, and fields of studies. With an eye to landscape ecology as well as space and urban form, they hopscotch across conservation, economics, geography, gender studies, forestry, and public health. Complementing a long list of literature on urban agriculture and ideals of cultivation, the book also realigns the gravitational pull of the Anglo-American debate to include numerous Australian perspectives. This kaleidoscopic volume will appeal to the curious amateur and offer a starting point for further research to those concerned with the productive landscape."Dorothée Imbert, Professor, Hubert C. Schmidt '38 Chair in Landscape Architecture, Landscape Architecture Section Head"The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is a timely answer to the growing interest in these subjects. It provides an authoritative and cross-disciplinary overview and stimulating discussions of a broad range of topics related to food and landscape studies and the diversity in concepts and approaches applied therein. The Handbook also discusses the various contexts in which cities, agriculture and landscape are developing and the related challenges. It outlines possible ways to remake foodways, landscapes, cities, and the values we bring to them." Ir. Henk de Zeeuw, Founder and former director of the RUAF Foundation, a global partnership on sustainable Urban Agriculture and Food Systems.
