Field Instruments of Design
Every given site is specific, and successful landscape design has to respond to its given features. This means, before proposing the transformation of a site, one needs to understand its form. This Pamphlet argues that it is impossible to design landscape without a thorough knowledge of field instruments. These measure the geometry of the land, they observe and describe physical features, and moreover, help to conceive the ‘topology’ of a landscape. This book assesses what field instruments actually measure, what they reveal, and how they have always influenced the course of landscape architecture. Ohne Zweifel ist jeder Ort einzigartig; anspruchsvolle Gestaltung geht selbstverständlich von seinen Besonderheiten aus. Vor jedem Eingriff in die Landschaft ist es daher essentiell, ihre physische 'Gestalt' zu verstehen. Dieses Heft in der Reihe Pamphlet diskutiert die Bedeutung von field instruments für die Arbeit des Landschaftsarchitekten. Die sich wandelnden, komplexer werdenden Instrumente helfen ihm nicht nur bei der schlichten Vermessung eines Ortes – dessen konkretem Verständnis –, sondern auch bei der Enthüllung seiner 'topologischen Struktur'. Auf diese Weise spielen sie eine wichtige Rolle bei der Analyse als Grundlage der Gestaltung von Landschaft.
