VDM GHANI, I: Software in Landscape Architecture Education

This book would critically discuss the issues and trends of the current software that played a part in the landscape architecture curriculum. Computer software serves as a catalyst in realizing the full potentials of computer-aided design in the field of landscape architecture. On another note, education plays a key role in the making of the new generation of landscape architects today. Nevertheless, are the current teachings and learning methods enough to equip students to face the present and future challenges of ICT and new technologies? Are the current landscape architectural software sufficient enough to support this cause? The study into the current trends and approaches of the various landscape architectural schools on software usage would help to analyze the issues and develop proposed solutions for future innovation. The final proposition would be aimed at improving the functionality and usability of computer software in education and practice. This book would explore new possibilities and perspectives in the promising area of landscape architectural software research.
