Ma cosa fanno gli americani? Una breve indagine sui ruoli e i compiti dei landscape architect statunitensi (II)

Abstract

American landscape architecture firms seem to have retained between their competences that of city and urban design. To look out how real is this feeling, that refers to what is published on specialized journals and books, the paper display a reconstruction of phases, protagonists, and modalities that characterized the division between the two disciplines, in terms of separate professional associations and academic curriculum. The division appeared to be slow and viscous.The evaluation of city-design-oriented activities conducted by self-defined landscape architecture’s firms is developed since the recognition of the design activities undertook by some of the American firms awarded in 2004 by the ASLA, the American Society of Landscape Architect.
