Description

LA+ (Landscape Architecture Plus) from the University of Pennsylvania School of Design is the first truly interdisciplinary journal of landscape architecture. Within its pages you will hear not only from designers, but also from historians, artists, lawyers, psychologists, ecologists, planners, scientists, philosophers, and many more besides. Our aim at LA+ is to reveal connections and build collaborations between landscape architecture/urban design and other disciplines by exploring each issue's theme from multiple perspectives. The journal features a range of contribution types including essays, interviews, design criticism, graphic features, illustrations, and provocations: short-form pieces designed to provoke and inspire readers. LA+ brings you a rich collection of contemporary thinkers and designers in two lavishly illustrated issues annually. Contributors to the LA+ WILD issue have written on topics touching the concept of WILD and its role in design, large-scale habitat and species conservation, scientific research, the human psyche and aesthetics. They have been drawn from disciplines as diverse as evolutionary ecology, biology, visual arts, bioengineering, landscape architecture, planning, architecture, climatology, environmental history, philosophy and literature. 100 colour
