Cultural Experiences in the Landscape

How does the experience of landscape architecture in a foreign culture influence perceptions of the surroundings at home? What are the perceptual merits of the experiential environment versus a photograph or television program? What is the value of cultural experience in the shaping of visual preferences, and what implications might arise for future research concerning design products? This book explores the role of a cultural experience abroad as a significant influence in the development of visual awareness and design preference in the field of landscape architecture.
