ABSTRACT
Called in Latin in campo aperto, 'in an open field', it referred to the non-diastematic method of providing mnemonic prompts to singers of ecclesiastical music, drawing the first connotation between the temporality of music and landscape. The challenges facing the landscape architect in the representation of landscape time can be found in a number of works from the eighteenth century. Typifying many is French artist Jacques Rigaud's ink and wash of Stowe Gardens titled View of the Queen's Theatre from the Rotunda from 1734. The first notable English attempt to explicitly reconcile time in landscape architecture drawing can be found in the Red Books of Humphry Repton, the originator of the term landscape gardener. A more contemporary attempt to notate time in landscape architecture is the work of Israeli musicologist and designer Galia Hanoch-Roe. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
