Projecting the deep ground Journal of Landscape Architecture Pub Date : 2023-05-17 Ayşen Savaş, Funda Baş Bütüner, Sezin Sarıca, Nesli Naz Aksu
Abstract This article reflects on surface-based urban strategies and explores the idea of deep ground. It aims to reveal the ground’s unacquainted thickness in order to discover the stratified context informed by local knowledge—historical, ecological, geological and hydrological. To clarify the argument, the article dwells on design projects conducted in our research-based design studio. Focusing

Augmenting socioecological dynamics in urban leftover spaces: Landscape architectural design as a foundation Journal of Landscape Architecture Pub Date : 2023-05-17 Sitong Luo, Saskia de Wit
Abstract Leftover spaces are urban interstices that are open to spontaneous socioecological appropriation, complementary to defined and managed urban open spaces. The design intervention of leftover spaces poses a paradox: while repurposing leftover spaces to make them accessible, usable and meaningful, design simultaneously runs a risk of closing off opportunities for appropriation. This paper examines

Abstract Productive green community spaces are currently the subject of extensive academic discussion. Scholars from diverse fields explore this phenomenon from social, economic, political and planning perspectives. Yet, the aesthetic dimension of such sites has remained outside the academic purview, while giving rise to public debate and critique. This paper addresses the lacuna by examining productive

Glacier blanketing: Two approaches in the European Alps Journal of Landscape Architecture Pub Date : 2023-05-17 Carey Clouse
Abstract As a response to climate change, the use of glacier blanketing in the European Alps helps to slow the melting of snow and ice, and in turn, allays the impacts of global warming on recreational landscapes. The practice of laying geotextiles across glaciers and snow fields reveals important information about the capacity for human engagement and, ultimately, the role of design interventions

An encounter with stone. Designing with the aesthetic force of post-mining landscapes. Journal of Landscape Architecture Pub Date : 2022-12-07 Shaun Rosier
Abstract Quarries are inherently complex situations that offer a unique and timely challenge to contemporary landscape architects. Their technical and operational nature tends to lead to an equally technical response by designers at the expense of engaging with the ethico-aesthetic potential of these confronting landscapes. Several designers and thinkers are responding to this problem through theorizing

Abstract This article aims to examine the effects of large-scale planning projects. It focuses on the little-known Métropole jardin project, which was developed in the western centre of France in the late 1960s and 1970s. This was a period in regional planning history that welcomed landscape architecture, in which new actors entered the scene and new methods and tools were created to involve communities

Abstract The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London has been celebrated as an exemplar of sustainable landscape architecture and regeneration. Yet tracing the new materialist histories of its enmeshed soils reveals how complex sustainable landscape architecture is. On the one hand, the park has expertly recycled and locally sourced its materials. On the other, the socio-ecosystems of its soil assemblages

Behind-the-Scenes: Multispectral imagery and land cover classification Journal of Landscape Architecture Pub Date : 2022-08-19 Karen M’Closkey, Keith VanDerSys
Abstract This article focuses on the use of remotely sensed multispectral imagery for land cover classification, a process that landscape architects may know little about but that underpins many of the maps that they use as the basis for their designs. The relatively arbitrary nature of classification, and the homogenization that occurs when classifying multispectral imagery to create land cover maps

Abstract Topography in landscape design is understood as the foundation on which the dynamics of climate, soil, vegetation and human impact are negotiated. Surprisingly, topography plays a secondary role in the process of designing modern cities, despite being an ineluctable factor on large spatial and temporal scales of built environments. We argue that topographic representation and conceptualization

Automotive urban landscapes: Exploring public programmes for adaptive reuse of underground car parks Journal of Landscape Architecture Pub Date : 2022-03-07 Raf Ilsbroekx, Maarten Van Acker
Abstract Public underground car parks could be interpreted as capsular infrastructure landscapes, attracting cars to the heart of the city and sweeping them under the proverbial carpet. However, today many contemporary urban planners and policymakers tend to discourage car use in their city centres, causing a decreasing need for parking space. This emerging paradigm shift in mobility creates the potential
