ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a problem internal to the discipline, which is the need for a new way to produce landscapes. It discusses the importance of analogue graphics and modeling as used at professors firm Ballistic Architecture Machine (BAM). BAM selects the Doodle as a portal through which ‘Intuition as Method’ might enter design problems. DoodleTech functions in analogue and digital modes, for together the availability of information surges. Landscape systems embody the cyclical progression of dynamic, boundless territories such as wind patterns, water behavior, biota succession, entropy. Landscape architecture addresses technological, spatial, historical, ecological, horticultural, social, and psychological conditions. As landscape architecture takes a leading role in shaping future cities, the following essay presents a problem internal to the discipline, which is the need for a new way to produce landscapes. The landscape architect already employs high intuitive function when thinking and creating to progress toward buildable ideas.
