a musicology for 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. each of the musical scores is juxtaposed with design representations by kevin appleyard, bernard tschumi and william kent, before the author examines four landscape spaces through the development of new landscape architectural notations. in doing so, this work offers valuable insights into the methods used by landscape architects for the benefit of musicians, and by bringing together musical composition and landscape architecture through notation, it affords a focused and sensitive exploration of temporality and sound in both fields.
