This is Architecture : Writing on Buildings
We all consume architecture – it’s the one artform we can’t avoid.So it’s hardly surprising that the finest writers have applied their minds to it.Most of them aren’t architects, but their powers of perception are such that what they say gets under the skin of a building – and gives us a lesson in how to look at architecture.You’ll be entertained and enlightened as you find out why Goethe went from being dismissive of Strasbourg Cathedral to being an awed admirer; why Ruskin was offended by decorated shopfronts; why D.H.Lawrence loved Etruscan temples; why Tom Wolfe ridiculed the Seagram Building; why Vita Sackville-West saw Chatsworth as an alien interloper; why Rose Macaulay was passionate about ruins; And what Evelyn Waugh thought of Gaudí.The answers, and plenty more, are all here. Knowing them will transform the way you see buildings and deepen your understanding of architecture.

How can you convert photos from portrait to landscape orientation?
To convert photos from portrait to landscape orientation, you can use photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. Open the photo in the software, then use the cropping tool to adjust the dimensions to a landscape orientation. You may need to crop out some parts of the original photo to fit the new orientation. Once you are satisfied with the new dimensions, save the photo in the landscape orientation.

What is the difference between camera settings for landscape shots and portrait photos?
The main difference between camera settings for landscape shots and portrait photos is the aperture setting. For landscape shots, a smaller aperture (higher f-stop number) is typically used to achieve a larger depth of field and ensure that both the foreground and background are in focus. On the other hand, for portrait photos, a larger aperture (lower f-stop number) is often used to create a shallow depth of field, resulting in a blurred background that helps to emphasize the subject. Additionally, the focal length and composition may also vary between the two types of photography.

Nature-Based Design in Landscape Architecture
Nature-Based Design in Landscape Architecture showcases a range of built works designed by landscape architects from many countries of the world representing diverse environmental regions and uses.These projects demonstrate the transformative potential of a nature-based approach to landscape architecture. The nature-based design approach supports and encourages natural regeneration with a view to promoting sustainable environments, preserving natural resources, and mitigating the impacts of climate change and development.The projects selected for this book demonstrate the potential of nature-based landscape design to support healthy, natural and managed ecosystems, sequester carbon, and support the recovery of biodiversity.In addition to examples of design-led environmental interventions, Nature-Based Design in Landscape Architecture, the book, also demonstrates the potential for nature-based design to improve people’s relationship with their surroundings by encouraging them to be active participants in their communities.As such, each project featured in the book promotes a discussion around future scenarios in which landscape architects can and will be engaged, from minimizing environmental impact through sustainable design to fostering social justice through community engagement. This book will be a welcome supplement for undergraduate landscape architecture, survey or design studio courses, and may also be used at the master’s degree level either as part of a landscape architecture survey seminar or early design studio.

The New Nature Writing : Rethinking the Literature of Place
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. In the last decade there has been a proliferation of landscape writing in Britain and Ireland, often referred to as ‘The New Nature Writing’.Rooted in the work of an older generation of environment-focused authors and activists, this new form is both stylistically innovative and mindful of ecology and conservation practice.The New Nature Writing: Rethinking the Literature of Place connects these two generations to show that the contemporary energy around the cultures of landscape and place is the outcome of a long-standing relationship between environmentalism and the arts. Drawing on original interviews with authors, archival research, and scholarly work in the fields of literary geographies, ecocriticism and archipelagic criticism, the book covers the work of such writers as Robert Macfarlane, Richard Mabey, Tim Robinson and Alice Oswald.Examining the ways in which these authors have engaged with a wide range of different environments, from the edgelands to island spaces, Jos Smith reveals how they recreate a resourceful and dynamic sense of localism in rebellion against the homogenising growth of “clone town Britain.”

What is the difference between landscape architecture and landscape planning?
Landscape architecture focuses on the design and planning of outdoor spaces, including parks, gardens, and urban plazas, with a focus on aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. Landscape architects often work on specific projects, creating detailed designs and plans for outdoor spaces. On the other hand, landscape planning is a broader field that involves the strategic and holistic planning of land use, natural resources, and environmental conservation. It encompasses the assessment, analysis, and management of landscapes at a larger scale, often involving multiple stakeholders and considering long-term impacts on the environment and communities. In summary, landscape architecture is more focused on the design and aesthetics of outdoor spaces, while landscape planning involves the strategic and comprehensive planning of land use and natural resources.

What are the differences between picture writing, word writing, and alphabet writing?
Picture writing, also known as pictographs, uses pictures or symbols to represent words or ideas. Word writing uses characters or symbols to represent individual words or syllables. Alphabet writing uses a set of letters to represent individual sounds, allowing for the creation of a wide range of words and ideas. While picture writing and word writing are more limited in their ability to represent language, alphabet writing allows for a more flexible and efficient way to convey a wide range of information.
