Time in Landscape

This chapter provides strategies and workstages for using 3D models to develop landscape design. Composites, however, have a particular role in environmental planning; where the impact of a proposal can be 3D modelled, this proposal can then e referenced to single line-ofsight points. Thus, the photomontage juxtaposes still photography, drone capture or 3D model points with the design proposal. However, repeat photography, first used as a method of recording glacial movement and retreat, is a cost-effective mode of recording land dynamics and shifts. The use of repeat photography in landscape architecture is much understated; while landscape and urban archives are utilised in precedence studies, the use of comparative geographic information systems techniques could be improved. The relationship between landscape design representation and the everyday experience of spaces is sometimes located on completely different vectors. Time in landscape is fundamentally at odds with capital transactions; it has no immediate tangible economic value.
