- Strategies for Landscape Representation is a monograph looking at visual communications in the built environment in terms of mapping, architectural perspectives, 3D modelling and digital fabrication. There is a supplementary online teaching resource of over 100 hours of material informing pedagogy for Architecture and Design Visualisation modules. The research process utilises theory and practice built upon the idea of design agency from James Corner (1999) after Alfred Gell (1998), exploring how visual communications are a fundamental element in the transmission of design ideas into built or ‘realised’ form. The book featured creative outcomes from these explorations by the author, with the material per chapter including the first 3D printed model of Welwyn Garden City (1.5m x 1m) based on Environment Agency light detection and ranging (LiDAR, i.e. 3D laser scanning) in collaboration with Space Syntax, presented at Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation and exhibited at the RIBA ‘Future Cities’ exhibition (2015). Dissemination included a keynote at the ‘Art & Environment’ Conference, University of Rennes, France and guest talk at The Sustainable Landscape Series, University of Gloucestershire (2017). Chapter 2 was also published as a book chapter in ‘Landscape and Agency: Critical Essays’ (2017) and was presented at The Hawksmoor International Lecture Series (2017-18) at the University of Greenwich. Chapter 1 formed the basis of the second monograph ‘Drone Futures’ (2020). Additional dissemination involved participation in the Landscape Institute’s sub-education committee for professional accreditation of UK landscape schools, engagement with the Town Country Planning Association (TCPA) and Academy of Urbanism (AoU).
