{"id":2796,"count":103,"description":"Landscape architecture is the discipline of designing outdoor environments, from gardens to territories. The term itself has roots in 18th-century British landscape painting, where \u201clandscape\u201d was first framed as an aesthetic category. The French designer Jean-Marie Morel (1728\u20131810) is credited with formulating architecte-paysagiste, first describing himself as architecte et paysagiste before the title became formalized at his death. This origin matters: landscape architecture emerged from artifice and representation, bound up with colonial and aristocratic ideals of scenery. To decolonize the field is to question these beginnings and the exclusions they carried. Since then, landscape architecture has grown into a global practice entangled with ecology, planning, infrastructure, public space, and politics. Today, the discipline continues to expand, digesting vast issues of climate crisis, biodiversity, social justice, and community life. It is no longer only about arranging scenery but about negotiating survival and meaning across scales, situating it in public perception for confrontation, reflection, and possibly - political action.","link":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/topics\/disciplines-dispositions\/landscape-architecture\/","name":"Landscape Architecture","slug":"landscape-architecture","taxonomy":"topics","parent":2787,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/topics"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2787"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?topics=2796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
