Reviews for Representing Landscapes: Visualizing Climate Action

“Climate Change is an existential threat to our Planet and the survival of the Human Species. Although the topic is top of mind, visual expressions solidify the need for more action from a broad audience. It is wonderful to have a book that provides illustrations to convey many ways the discipline and profession of Landscape Architecture addresses nature based design solutions towards reversing the effects of climate change.” Kona Gray, FASLA, PLA, Principal of EDSA Inc, and 2025-26 President of ASLA
