Understanding landscape as lived practice calls into question many fundamental assumptions about space, objects, and representation on which the design professions—and design education—rest. It therefore has the potential to transform the process, products, and social mission of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. Living Landscape is a wide-ranging, open-ended forum for exploring these implications, through theory and practice, at every scale of the designed environment, from territory to site to building.

We have in the past looked at the various functions of landscape mostly from a series of single subject perspectives. This has had only limited success in reducing countryside conflicts. Planning and management decisions for improving crop production, biodiversity, landscape, amenity, or other environmental functions, cannot be made outside the context of human needs and wishes. Single subject approaches fail to incorporate this context and, moreover, fail to consider how promoting one countryside interest will interact with others.

Landscape research offers a way to start understanding human processes and physical environmental changes in the context of people’s responses. It can set individual and community views alongside the large-scale strategic policies and investments of national and supra-national institutions. The knowledge it produces can be used to help people respond to threatened and imminent physical change.
