Strategic <strong>Landscape</strong> Planning<br />
1<br />
This course undertook a critical evaluation of global<br />
contemporary practices at large scales within the field of<br />
landscape architecture, specifically given shifts in global<br />
economic and geopolitical trends that have necessitated<br />
a repositioning of landscape planning from an empirical,<br />
socially- and environmentally-deterministic practice to<br />
one that is operative and catalytic, for which strategy and<br />
negotiation prevail over traditional top-down planning<br />
methods. Though we understand strategic landscape planning<br />
in relation to sites and regions that are manifestly urban, this<br />
was not a course about <strong>Landscape</strong> Urbanism. Though the<br />
science of ecology provides many of the conceptual models<br />
we use to describe and explore strategic landscape planning,<br />
this was not a course about <strong>Landscape</strong> Ecology. Instead this<br />
course aimed to situate a diverse and often contradictory set<br />
of ideas about shaping the environment in which and through<br />
which we live within a historical continuum and within the<br />
tangle of disciplinary identities.<br />
