The blindspot: a thesis in landscape architecture

Abstract

The intent of this thesis is to catalogue and seek to understand why we desire what we desire and how this desire is transcribed onto the landscape. Applying this knowledge can be used to assist landscape architects through the design process by understanding the complex systems that interact to define I and We. Questions of concern to this thesis can be summarized as; • Is the theory that our desires affect the designs of landscape architects tenable? • Can this theory be implemented? • And, if so, to what degree?
