Experiential Landscapes: A Design Language For People, Space And Place

Expertly arguing that features of experiential potential in neighbourhood and community open space networks can be read from spatial characteristics, this key book investigates how a design methodology can be successfully applied to map, analyze and improve the design of neighbourhood and other community settings. Incorporating a review of key philosophical and theoretical themes, and offering a design vocabulary to help the designer develop a socially responsive approach, Kevin Thwaites provides the reader with a greater understanding of the human-environment relationship.
