250 Things a Landscape Architect Should Know

by Cannon Ivers (editor)

What knowledge is indispensable for the landscape architect? The answers to this question are as diverse as landscape architecture itself.
In this book 50 landscape architects from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia each give five responses. These include practitioners and teachers, young start-ups as well as internationally established firms. The publication illustrates the complex and dynamic nature of the discipline, and presents a diverse cross-section of the core expertise of this field. At the same time, it allows the reader to trace the individual attitudes into which geographical conditions, social contexts and political circumstances flow.
Each of the 250 statements is presented on a double page and illustrated by a picture.

JONATHON YOU OWE ME TEN DOLLARS

It was interesting to read so many different perspectives about landscape architecture, even if I didn't agree with all of them or find value in all of them. The academic language used by many contributors made it a bit difficult to get through at times, but I don't think anything can be done about that. I think I'll probably come back to this book many times as my career advances.

I like the format of this book; it’s fun, and leads to lots of googling. There were some true gems, and some I didn’t enjoy much. The personal values of each landscape architect shine. The photos/sketches really add to it.
