250 Things a Landscape Architect Should Know

Editor: Cannon Ivers

250 Things a Landscape Architect Should Know was edited by Cannon Ivers, teaching fellow at The Bartlett School of Landscape Architecture and a Director at LDA Design.  The book featured on the Best Books of 2021 list published by the American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA).  

What knowledge is indispensable for the landscape architect? The answers to this question are as diverse as landscape architecture itself. In this book 50 landscape architects from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia each give five responses. The publication illustrates the complex and dynamic nature of the discipline, and presents a diverse cross-section of the core expertise of this field. At the same time, it allows the reader to trace the individual attitudes into which geographical conditions, social contexts and political circumstances flow.  Each of the 250 statements is presented on a double page and illustrated by a picture.

The Landscape of Utopia: Writings on Everyday Life, Taste, Democracy, and Design

Author: Tim Waterman 

Tim Waterman is an Associate Professor of Landscape Theory at The Bartlett School of Architecture. 

His latest book is a collection of short interludes, think pieces, and critical essays on landscape, utopia, philosophy, culture, and food. It discusses landscape in its broadest sense, as a descriptor of the relationship between people and place that occurs everywhere on land, from cities to countryside, suburb to wilderness. With over fifty black and white illustrations interspersing the twenty six chapters, this is a book for professionals, academics, and students to dive into and spark discussion on new modes of thinking in the wake of unfolding global crises, such as COVID-19, climate change, fascism 2.0, and beyond.
