- W2413509621 abstract "my title, 'Landscape with Figures' obviously calls for some explanation. * Landscape' itself I shall deal with relatively briefly because I wish to devote rather more time to the 'Figures'. First let me make it clear that most of the figures are people. There is, however, just one important exception. This is when 'figures' are discussed in the numerical or statistical sense. To the landscape architect the landscapes he discovers, protects, designs, promotes, are essentially for people. Secondly, there should be some mention of the personalities - the father figures - who have been instrumental in designing our landscapes. Thirdly come quite a different set of figures, those increasingly used for the more precise forms of measurement of the landscapes we survey and the proposals we make. Quantity and value figures are now becoming important. Finally, I shall return briefly to figures of special significance. These are the students who now aspire to become landscape architects. I regard these as very special people and I am as concerned with their development as people as with their acquisition of technical skills. In order of importance, clearly the figures which occupy and use our landscapes come first. It is true that many of the finest landscapes give the greatest pleasure if enjoyed in isolation, undisturbed or apparently undisturbed by man. And the landscape architect may have a role to play in the conservation of these wilderness areas. But in a crowded world and particularly in these long settled and intensively developed islands of Britain we make and remake our landscapes which assume and change appearances as a direct result of human activity. The activities are sometimes reckless and the so-called 'natural' correction process can be painful as well as unsightly. People are involved in the construction process; they use land and the resultant landscape remains the background to their daily activities. Our father figures are much less important, and with the growing complexity of modern life, it seems likely that the highly organized team rather than the personalized 'designer' will make the greater headway. And some of the great contributions of personal endeavour, professionally and politically, which promote landscape enterprises, are likely to come from talented individuals who are not landscape architects at all. Next, figures in the statistical sense. It would be premature to attempt an assessment of just how important this kind of figure is likely to become in the landscape world. There could be too great an emphasis on measurement and evaluation or, even worse, on pseudo -scientific attempts to quantify intangibles," @default.
