Knowing Place in International Landscape Architectural Practice
This paper investigates ways of knowing a particular place in landscape architectural practice across cultures. The approach of landscape architecture to place suggests a primary goal to look after places’ characteristics. Therefore, landscape architects have developed ways to gain understanding of place and its natural and cultural environment. A case study of the planning and design of the Li Lake area in China where Australian landscape architects played key roles showed their genuine engagement with place through intensive site investigations and close interaction with local governmental clients. It also showed their difficulties in gaining implicit knowledge of this area, because their early and direct interaction with local landscape architects and communities was restricted by the commissioning process.
