A musicology for landscape

Drawing conceptually and directly on music notation, this book investigates landscape architecture's inherent temporality.

It argues that the rich history of notating time in music provides a critical model for this under-researched and under-theorised aspect of landscape architecture, while also ennobling sound in the sensory appreciation of landscape. 'A Musicology for Landscape' makes available to a wider landscape architecture and urban design audience the works of three influential composers - Morton Feldman, György Ligeti and Michael Finnissy - presenting a critical evaluation of their work within music, as well as a means in which it might be used in design research.
