The Experience of Landscape - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

This book, first published by John Wiley and Sons in 1975, proposed and argued a new theoretical approach to landscape aesthetics, including "habitat theory" and "prospect-refuge theory" based on an analysis of research literature, and experience in a wide area of art and science. It sought to apply these theories to the detailed and practical analysis of actual landscapes through an appropriate system of symbolism. In this revised edition, the original text has been retained and the arguments have been updated by the addition of a further chapter which addresses future developments in environmental aesthetics.
