  • More about Landscape Architecture as Storytelling: Learning Design Through Analogy


This book provides a comfortable approach to learning landscape architectural design, using a three-tiered analogy of language, basic design, and landscape design to help readers understand the makeup and role of design features and build narratives into their surroundings.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 298 pages
Publication date: 30 November 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


This book is a comprehensive guide for students, practitioners, and laypeople interested in learning landscape architectural design without the burden of design jargon. It offers a step-by-step process that encourages readers to consider their knowledge of language as metaphorically related to basic design and landscape design. Through information delivery and questioning processes, readers build on their existing knowledge, their tacit understanding of language as applied to problem-solving and storytelling.

The book takes readers on a journey through a three-tiered analogy of language, basic design, and landscape design. It teaches them about the makeup and role of design features such as points, lines, planes, volumes, and sequential volumetric spaces that shape their world. By recognizing how they read their surroundings, readers gain a new perspective and begin to see the potential for storytelling in their environments.

The book emphasizes the importance of authored landscape narratives, where the designer is the author, the landscape is the text, and the participants are the readers. It guides readers through a process of writing a first- or second-person narrative, visually interpreting it into a storyboard, and ultimately turning it into a final design that is experienced by those who participate in it.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of landscape architectural design and create meaningful and engaging outdoor spaces. It provides a comfortable approach to learning the subject and encourages readers to explore their creativity and imagination in designing the world around them.
