The first subject to be discussed includes those technological changes which affect everything around us. The article then analyzes specific technological changes in landscape architecture, namely, the increased availability of spatial data in electronic or digital form; the emerging new tools, especially the development of the microcomputer technology; and current approaches used to transfer these technologies to the private, public, and academic practices of landscape architecture. The article ends with three propositions which are suggested: to ease the trauma of inevitable change, to use advanced technology to expand the boundaries of landscape architecture, and to promote landscape architecture globally.
