Book Description
Codify: Parametric and Computational Design in Landscape Architecture provides a series of essays that explore what it means to use,modify and create computational tools in a contemporary design environment. Landscape architecture has a long history of innovation in the areas of computation and media,particularly in how the discipline represents,analyses,and constructs complex systems. This curated volume spans academic and professional projects to form a snapshot of digital practices that aim to show how computation is a tool that goes beyond methods of representation and media. The book is organized in four sections; syntax,perception,employ,and prospective. The essays are written by leading academics and professionals and the sections examine the role of computational tools in landscape architecture through case studies,historical accounts,theoretical arguments,and nascent propositions.
