This course continues the retrospective history of landscape architecture we initiated in LAN1031. In the latter, we looked at major modern, western landscape design principles and realizations extending from the twenty-first century back to the early twentieth. Emphasis was put on the notion of ‘precedent’ in design processes (including transfer and transformation) and its multiple layers (technical, material, social, political, economic, and so forth). In that regard, whenever relevant, we addressed non-western precedents, cultural contexts, and design traditions. As a sequel to this, the present course adopts a cross-cultural approach that encompasses the concepts, representations, and materialization of landscape designs worldwide, over a period stretching from the 19th century back to the first millennium CE. We will survey landscape design forms of production at all scales, from private gardens and public parks to estate management, environmental technology, and urban planning. Doing so, we will trace landscape design processes and their outcomes, from commission and design to written and visual discourse, reception, and historiography.
