Abstract

Expressivist landscape architecture is developed in response to concerns that landscape architecture's capability to make places beneficial to human fulfillment may be constrained by excessive emphasis on utility and style over wider human experience. The paper argues that this problem is related to elements of landscape architecture's intellectual underpinning and introduces expressivism as the basis for developing a new conceptual framework involving a holistic approach to the human-environment relationship. Expressivism underpins a humanistic approach to landscape architecture in which landscape is understood as an expressive medium central to the achievement of human fulfillment. Aspects of Christopher Alexander's work are considered in the context of expressivist landscape architecture as a means of developing an operational strategy.
