Abstract
The relationship between theory and critique in landscape architecture varies according to the way the theory is constructed. This can be demonstrated using an heuristic analytical framework focused upon the ‘pre-suppositional’ hierarchy of assumptions that underlie theory and critique. Categories of epistemology, theoretical perspective, methodology, methods, and modes of representation can be used to explore the relationship between design critique and alternative theoretical positions. The analysis suggests that the ability to articulate from critique to theory, and from theory to critique, will determine the future shape of the theoretical foundation for the discipline, and is a key factor in determining the validity and efficacy of particular examples of critique. An argument is made for greater attention being paid towards a ‘social constructionist’ framework for theory and critique within landscape architecture.
