Landscape Theory in Design

Review by Annemarie Bucher Zurich University of the Arts, Switzerland The book consists of an introduction, five thematic chapters, and a glossary offering straightforward explanations of technical terms and major concepts. In her introductory statement, Herrington clarifies her approach. She sets ambitious goals as she sees theories as ‘debatable explanations concerning how one interprets phenomena in the world, makes sense of experiences, discovers patterns, and produces meaning’ (p. 1). Here she refers mainly to the formats and functions of theories in the humanities and cultural studies, where contradictions and debate are essential and where critical reflection and interpretation take precedence over asserting principles.
