"This book profiles an in-depth overview of graphic and visual communication styles conveying climate change and climate action within the landscape architectural profession and in academia. The book displays valuable visualizations of climate adaptation and resilience, developed by award-winning landscape architects and academics from Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Finland, South Africa, Singapore and China. The publication tackles the critical topic of visual communication in the profession, specifically about concepts that highlight climate action and climate awareness. It explores the styles and types of imagery in landscape architecture that deliver an awareness to the timely issue of climate change. The book exhibits the imaginative ways in which climate action and climate resilient concepts are visually presented, communicated and perceived. It will be especially valuable for students and practitioners in landscape architecture to understand how to visually capture climate change issues and design solutions, and to deliver this message to the public"-- Provided by publisher.
