Landscape Architecture into the 21st Century, a specialASLA task force report, has been revised and condensed intoa new generic publication, Action By Design, written for allwho are interested in imprc~ving the natural and builtenvironment.

Action By Design: Facilitating Design Decisions into the 21stCentu.~____~, a compelling document which examines societalchange and its impact on the natural and built environment,"stands as one of the most important future-locking contribu-tions from a design profession to date," noted Theodore J.Wirth, president of the American Society of LandscapeArchitects (ASIA), in announcing the book’s March 1983 publi-cation by ASIA.

Written by prominent landscape architect and scholar LaneL. Marshall, Action By Design is the result of an 18-month studyon the future of society and the design professions, con-ducted by an ASIA blue ribbon task force. The book has

already been endorsed unanimously by the National Boardof Directors of the American Society of Interior Designers(ASID).

Action By Design investigates the current social, economic,political and technological forces of change and, utilizingfutures forecasting techniques, identities probable scenariosfor the quality of life in the United States. It is a book bydesigners for use by all who have a role in the designdecision-making process-government officials, environmentalorganizations, civic and neighborhood associations, profes-sional designers and planners, business, and special interestgroups.

The book proposes a new design decision-making processto deal with such vital issues as environmental mediation,resource extraction, water and land use management, hous-ing, energy, special populations and the changing urbancenter.

"Recognizing that the future quality of the natural and builtenvironment rests not only with designers and natural scien-tists but perhaps more importantly with design decision-makers from all walks of life, this book attempts to provideguidelines and hope for all who are devoted to making bet-ter decisions about the protection and enhancement of thequality of life in America," said Marshall.

Marshall, head of the Department of Landscape Architec-fure at Texas A&M University, is chair of ASLA’s Special TaskForce on Landscape Architecture into the 21st Century, andwas the Society’s president from 1977 to 1978. Marshall is listedin Who’s Who in America and in Who’s Who in the World.
