VA: A Study of Landscape Architecture Design Methods - Virginia Polytechnic I...Sotirakou964
This thesis examines how different design methods employed by landscape architects impact design outcomes. Eighteen methods are identified and categorized into four groups: modeling systems, interrelationships and dependencies, incorporation and adaptation, and structuring problems. Each method is applied individually to a simple design problem to analyze the results. Three methods are also applied to a complex design to compare the outcomes. The conclusion recommends using at least one method from each category to thoroughly explore complex design issues.
