Design Research for Urban Landscapes [PDF ebook] 
Theories and Methods

Within the spatial design disciplines, research through design as a tool and practice has often been neglected. This book provides a much-needed companion to the theories, methods and processes involved in using design-based research in landscape, architecture and urban design. Aimed specifically at researchers completing Ph D projects, supervisors and designers working in practice, it covers applied approaches to help you to use design research in your work. With fully illustrated examples of original international design research Ph Ds from a variety of programme types, such as individual, structured and practice-based, Design Research for Urban Landscapes offers Ph D candidates and supervisors a clear foundational pathway.
