Landscapes of Memory and Experience

<p>It has been argued that the history of landscape and of gardens has been marginalized from the mainstream of art history and visual studies because of a lack of engagement with the theories methods and concepts of these disciplines. This book explores possible ways out of this impasse in such a way that landscape studies would become pivotal through its theoretical advances since landscape studies would challenge the underlying assumptions of traditional phenomenological theory. Thus the history and theory of twentieth-century landscape might not only once again share concepts and methods with contemporary art and design history but might in turn influence them.<br>A complementary sequel to <em>Relating Architecture to Landscape</em> this volume of essays explores further areas of interest and discussion in the landscape/architecture debate and offers contributions from a team of well-known researchers teachers and writers. The choice of topics is wide-ranging and features case studies of modern and contemporary schemes from the USA Far East and Australasia.</p>
