ABSTRACT

The epilogue to Landscape Architecture as Storytelling: Learning Design Through Analogy asks you to be more open to how you read what’s around you and to the sensitivities of nature and environmental writers of fiction and non-fiction. As such, it provides a sampling of thoughts from Henry David Thoreau, Lawrence Durrell, D. H. Lawrence, Wendell Berry, Barry Lopez, and J. B. Jackson. They bring a uniqueness to our reading of our surroundings. Landscape is a text not of individual statements but of sequences of statements that make up narratives capable of providing us with experiences that at least meet, if not exceed, our expectations.
