About This Book

This book provides an in-depth overview of graphic and visual communication styles for conveying climate change and climate action within the landscape architectural profession and in academia. The book features visualizations of climate adaptation and resilience, developed by award-winning landscape architects and academics from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Italy, France, Finland, South Africa, Singapore, and China. Representing Landscapes: Visualizing Climate Action illustrates the imaginative ways in which climate action and climate resilient concepts are visually presented, communicated, and perceived. The book will be especially valuable for students and practitioners in landscape architecture, urban planning, and related fields to understand how to visually capture climate change issues and design solutions, and to deliver this message to the public.
