Landscape Architecture Ideas: design process podcast

Ideas lie at the heart of landscape architecture and should have the same place in the design process. This includes ideas about the natural world, about society, about culture and about the traditions of making cities, gardens and landscapes.
To integrate these ideas they can be represented with words and images.
The words should be as concise as captions
The images should be diagrammatic and photographic
Christopher Alexander used the terms 'pattern' and 'archetype' in his 1977 book: A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction and the Alexander patterns are archetypes for making good places. They need to be integrated with the patterns of the natural environment.
Other structural patterns can be identified with the help of psychology, ecology, geomorphology, art, design, geometry, planning and other subjects too. This gives us a structuralist approach to landscape architecture, drawing on aspects of philosophical structuralism.

Very Interesting - a lot to take in in these days of limited spans

[@danjackson7758]

the designs of landscape architects should be subjected to public vote, before they are foisted on us. those whose designs are rejected must be put in the stocks for a minimum of 3 days, where anyone who has been forced to live with or inside their hideous creations may freely pelt them with the ordure of their choice. maybe then they would refrain from creating execrable designs that no one wants, and that only deepen our alienation from the natural world.

It does not work very well in the UK but involvement of the public in taking decisions is one of the main features of the Town and Country Planning Acts. Developers complain that this legislation slows the development process enormously: the delays are more like 3 years than 3 days. Members of the public complain that they are 'consulted' and then the authorities do what they intended to do anyway. Switzerland is an example of a country which does use referendums to take decisions on development projects and I agree with you that this is a good thing to do. But it does not seem to have slowed the pace of converting agricultural land into urban land.
