A Musicology for LandscapeAuthor(s): David Nicholas Buck\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138694422, 978-1138694422\nSynopsis\nDrawing conceptually and directly on music notation, this book investigates landscape architectures inherent temporality. It argues that the rich history of notating time in music provides a critical model for this under-researched and under-theorised aspect of landscape architecture, while also ennobling sound in the sensory appreciation of landscape. \n\nA Musicology for Landscape makes available to a wider landscape architecture and urban design audience the works of three influential composers Morton Feldman, Gyrgy Ligeti and Michael Finnissy presenting a critical evaluation of their work within music, as well as a means in which it might be used in design research. Each of the musical scores is juxtaposed with design representations by Kevin Appleyard, Bernard Tschumi and William K.
