Welches Wissen ist für den Landschaftsarchitekten unabdingbar? Die Antworten auf diese Frage sind so vielfältig, wie es die Landschaftsarchitektur selbst ist. Das Buch versammelt fünf Antworten von 50 Landschaftsarchitekten aus Europa, Nord- und Südamerika, Asien und Australien. Es sind Stimmen von Praktizierenden und Lehrenden, von jungen Start-ups wie von international etablierten Büros. Die Publikation veranschaulicht die komplexe und dynamische Natur der Disziplin und bildet so einen vielfältigen Querschnitt der notwendigen Expertise. Zugleich macht sie aber auch die jeweilige individuelle Haltung erfahrbar, in die geografische Gegebenheiten, soziale Kontexte sowie politische Umstände einfließen. 250 Statements werden auf je einer Doppelseite präsentiert und durch eine Abbildung veranschaulicht.

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. These include practitioners and teachers, young start-ups as well as internationally established firms. 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.

„Die Publikation veranschaulicht die komplexe und dynamische Natur der Disziplin und bildet so einen vielfältigen Querschnitt der notwendigen Expertise. Zugleich macht sie aber auch die jeweilige individuelle Haltung erfahrbar, in die geografische Gegebenheiten, soziale Kontexte sowie politische Umstände einfließen. [...] Wer sich für Landschaftsarchitektur interessiert und wissen möchte, nach welchen Gesichtspunkten, Überlegungen und Grundlagen sie erfolgreich entwirft und gestaltet, sollte unbedingt diesen neuen Band [...] kennen lernen!“ (Herbert Pardatscher-Bestle in: Bücherrundschau, 2021) *** „As with various topics of human knowledge, there are no dogmas in the field of landscape architecture, and with this perspective B. Cannon Ivers, editor of the volume, faces the challenge of combining many different approaches in a single work, bringing to light what is perhaps the only truth of this discipline: landscape architecture is multifaceted and complex and, with good will, in its complexity we can find the stimulus for constant improvement.“ (Gaël Glaudel in: Landscape First, 03/2022, <A href="https://www.landscapefirst.com/250-things-a-landscape-architect-should-know-1/">https://www.landscapefirst.com/250-things-a-landscape-architect-should-know-1/</A>)
