Representing Landscape Architecture offers a broad investigation of how the designed landscape is and has been represented: for design study, for criticism and even for its realization.

It has been said that we can only realize what we can imagine. But in order to realize we must convey ideas to others as well as to ourselves. Representation is by no means neutral and the process of communication, the process by which the imagination takes its first form, itself necessarily limits the range of our design possibilities. Computers further remove from cognitive processes and raise new questions about methods and limits.

Written by a team of renowned practitioners and academics, this book is the best available reference to date on the many dimensions of landscape representation.

Industry Reviews

"Marc Treib is one of the most prolific and erudite writers on designed, rather than found, landscapes. His beautifully illustrated and edited collection of essays on how designers have visualised and represented gardens and landscapes in plans, drawings, sketches, models, photographs and computer-generated images, is a delight."

"Treib is particularly sensitive to the gap between the plan and the reality, and is not afraid to name those parks which appeared inspired on paper but failed to win public affection or garner enjoyable use when constructed. He is a critic one can always trust."

GREEN PLACES, April 2008

"A very useful book and highly recommended for students in landscape architecture in order to broaden their perspective on the topic and encourage them to explore other modes of representation. It will also appeal to anybody interested in the landscape architecture profession and its evolution."
