Abstract
ABSTRACT This article draws on recent literature to articulate the challenge of framing research and practice in landscape architecture and planning in the face of the complexities and multiplicity of scales that characterize sustainability. It posits a framework for a scholarship of transdisciplinary action research (TDAR) as an emerging paradigm that propels landscape ar-chitectural and planning research into those complexities and scales. This framework informs a meta- analysis of the eight plu-ral design case studies composing the bulk of this special issue. The conclusions posit a unifi ed research paradigm responding to the complexities and multiplicity of scales of sustainability.KEY WORDS Transdisciplinary, action research, meta- analysis, research methods INTRODUCTION O ver the last several years Landscape Journal has featured a series of articles describing the chal-lenges to scholarly discourse faced by a discipline whose focus of study is a social construct delineated in physical and temporal reality on a case- by- case basis.
