HYPOTHETICAL TITLE OF RESEARCH

The Design Process in Landscape Architecture

SUMMARY

In landscape architecture the design process is generated through a system of give and take involving requirements and free choices, it brings about infinite reactions and goes down complex pathways to understanding through a constant exchange of acquired knowledge and design improvements. This stimulates additional disciplinary fields and determines the search for quality in the project, not only in the final result but also in the process itself.

The process, more than the product, represents a landscape project that is able to generate and share high quality urban places.

The research will draw upon both history and contemporary trends, selecting the most significant examples, the most emblematic designers and the movements that better represent this approach.
