Description

In 2022, the Landscape Architecture Course in Portugal celebrated 80 years of existence.

This edited collection, Portuguese Landscape Architecture Education, Heritage and Research, commemorates this important milestone by bringing together some of the most respected names in Portuguese landscape architecture.

Although the book’s content is much targeted at the assessment of the Portuguese history and influence, the themes under analysis are all-encompassing within the major fields, namely Pedagogy; Heritage; Theory and Methods; Design and Landscape Planning and Management.

The book seeks to address several research questions, including: How has landscape architecture evolved in Portugal and how has it been revealed in the different disciplinary areas and educational institutions, particularly considering the great challenges of today? What legacy did Caldeira Cabral, Sousa da Câmara and the first generation of landscape architects leave us that can be identified in the theory and practice of research projects, recent or ongoing, carried out by Portuguese landscape architects? How has education, research and practice of landscape architecture in Portugal been influenced or reflected by the exchange of knowledge with other countries?

This book will be of interest to researchers and students, as it encompasses an extensive contribution to the field of landscape architecture studies, aiming to impact both on the theory and practice of the discipline.
