Referring to several of the tradition’s works as well as scholarly critiques, Fiskevold and Geelmuyden highlight how individual landscape perception is primarily a cultural construct: each individual may see a unique landscape based on personal experiences, but simultaneously, \u003ci\u003elandscape\u003c\/i\u003e represents a tradition of engaging with nature and land, which has been largely forgotten. In re-engaging and connecting the practice of understanding landscapes with the pastoral tradition, the authors establish a common ground for treating landscape as an object of analysis in landscape planning.\u003ci\u003e Arcadia Updated \u003c\/i\u003econtributes to the methodological debate concerning landscape character assessment.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding 30 black-and-white images, this book analyses how humans engage with land organically, materially and communicatively. It seeks to raise landscape awareness as both an individual and a collective act of imagination. The practice of analysing landscapes is an ongoing culture of reinterpreting the land as landscape in response to society’s development and technical progress. The role of the landscape analyst is to interpret the contemporary world and offer visual explanations of it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be beneficial to professional landscape planners as well as to academics and students of landscape, literature and cultural studies.
