This condition of adaption and evolution is called emergence. Related to chaos theory and self-organising systems, emergence highlights the ever changing and developing urban and natural world - and the need to work flexibly within this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as an aborist must understand the development and functions of a tree in order to fully understand his actions in relation to it, so must a landscape architect understand the ecological functions of a specific terrain in order to appreciate how the landscape will respond to the conditions he establishes. This bottom-up approach is essential when dealing with the natural environment - and, as Barnett argues, the urban environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering critically the theory behind emergence in landscape architecture, the author also uses practical examples from international landscapes as a key tool in his mission to explain the basis of emergence and how it is essential to our understanding of both urban and natural systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for students and educators in landscape architecture, landscape urbanism and architectural theory, this book provides a full discourse on the theory and practice behind emergence in landscape and features full colour images. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236228259991,"sku":"9780415506557","price":16117.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415506557.webp?v=1769212332","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/emergence-in-landscape-architecture-9780415506557","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
