  1. Collective landscape

    Cleanup date August 2010 The term collective landscape was introduced to landscape design and landscape planning by Geoffrey Jellicoe Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe . He wrote, on the dust jacket of The landscape of man , that The world is moving into a phase when landscape design may well be recognized as the most comprehensive of the arts. Man creates around him an environment that is a projection into nature of his abstract ideas. It is only in the present century that the collective landscape has emerged as a social necessity. We are promoting a landscape art on a scale never conceived of in history. Definitions It appears that the term was inspired by Carl Jung s use of the term collective unconscious . Jellicoe admired Jung, but the use of collective landscape in the above quotation has something in common with its use in collectivism . Unlike the terms public park and national park , the term collective landscape is a psychological construct and an abstract concept. Collective landscape is therefore best understood as a landscape which exists in the collective unconscious like other public good s, does not belong to any individual Contemporary applications In American contemporary landscape architecture the term collective landscape is used to mean landscape which matters to the community as in the following quotation from the Smokey Mountain News for the week of 10 12 05 The struggle to preserve a collective landscape heritage has been fought and won by the Cherokee once in the past, but is now at risk again.

  1. Designed landscape

    A designed landscape is an area of land which has been modified by people for primarily aesthetic effect. The term is used by historians to denote various types of site, such as garden s, park s, cemetery cemeteries , and estate land estates . Such sites are often protected for their historic or artistic value. A designed landscape may comprise landform , water body water , building built structures , tree s and plant s, all of which may be naturally occurring or introduced. Many designed landscapes take advantage of exsiting geographical features, emphasising them through the planting of woodlands, or the creation of artificial lakes. For example, the parklands created by landscape gardener s such as Lancelot Capability Brown , are designed landscapes. They may also be more subtle, resulting from the enclosure of land, and the planting of functional woodlands such as shelter belt s. Patterns of such features may be of use to historians in identifying the extent of country estates, and in dating agricultural improvements.
