Landscape Fieldwork: How Engaging the World Can Change Design
Landscape fieldwork combines landscape architects’ projective skills and tools for site analysis (drawing, measuring, photographing, remote sensing) with the ethnographic methods of anthropologists (participant observation, unstructured interviews, and writing reflexive fieldnotes), all as an integral part of a design process. When we do thick description, it leads us to thick prescription.
Biography: Gareth Doherty is Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and Affiliate Faculty in the Department of African and African American Studies. He is the author of Paradoxes of Green: Landscapes of a City-State.
