Although the publication of SiteLines has ceased, online copies of each of its biannual issues (Fall 2003 to Spring 2021) will remain on this website as well as on that of the Center for Cultural Landscapes.
On our Publications page, you will note the titles of the seven books that we have produced. Among these are the catalogs that accompanied the two exhibitions we sponsored and co-curated with the Morgan Library & Museum: Romantic Gardens: Nature, Art, and Landscape Design (2010) and City of the Soul: Rome and the Romantics (2016). For a further appreciation of the contributions of the Foundation for Landscape Studies to the visual arts, visit our Gallery and view online exhibitions by seven notable photographers of place.
During its fifteen years of active operation, the Foundation for Landscape Studies sponsored an awards program consisting of the David R. Coffin Publication Grant, named in honor of the professor of architecture at Princeton University who was the pioneer scholar of landscape and garden history, and the J. B. Jackson prize awarded to a distinguished book published in the English language within the prior three years. A successor Book Awards Committee, which initially includes the FLS Directors who formerly served in this role, continues its work within the Center for Cultural Landscapes at the University of Virginia. Applicants will find the guidelines for submission of grant proposals and book-prize candidates at -and-publications.
The eminent landscape architect and sketchbook artist Laurie Olin has contributed numerous illustrated essays to SiteLines. As co-curator of the exhibition sponsored by the FLS at the Morgan Library & Museum in 2016, Princeton architectural history professor emeritus John Pinto offered his expertise in rare books, prints, and photographs relating to ancient and Renaissance Rome.
Without the support of this actively engaged board of directors, we would not have earned our current reputation as a nexus of gardeners, landscape architects, historic preservationists, scholars, and writers who are involved with making and protecting landscapes and learning and teaching about landscape as place. And, without the faithful support of friends like you, none of this would have been possible.
Future contributions to the continuation of our legacy by the Center for Cultural Landscapes are being allocated to the UVA Elizabeth Barlow Rogers Fund, which provides general support for the Landscape Studies Initiative and the Landscape Book Awards Fund formed to perpetuate our John Brinckerhoff Jackson Book Prizes and David R. Coffin Publication Grants. Please note that the recipients of these awards will continue to be selected by an independent committee, which at present consists of the three members of the FLS board who have performed this duty during the past fourteen years. The UVA Center for Cultural Landscape through its founding director, Professor Elizabeth Meyer, will serve as the chairman of this committee.
Architects, landscape architects and urban designers experiment with color and lighting effects in their daily professional practice. Over the past decade, there has been a reinvigorated discussion on color within architectural and cultural studies. Yet, scholarly enquiry within landscape architecture has been minimal despite its important role in landscape design.
This book posits that though color and lighting effects appear natural, fleeting, and difficult to comprehend, the sensory palette of built landscapes and gardens has been carefully constructed to shape our experience and evoke meaning and place character. Landscape Design in Color: History, Theory, and Practice 1750 to Today is an inquiry into the themes, theories, and debates on color and its impact on practice in Western landscape architecture over the past three centuries.
Divided into three key periods, each chapter in the book looks at the use of color in the written and built work of key prominent designers. The book investigates thematic juxtapositions such as: natural and artificial; color and line; design and draftsmanship; sensation and concept; imitation and translation; deception and display; and decoration and structure, and how these have appeared, faded, disappeared, and reappeared throughout the ages. Richly designed and illustrated in full color throughout, including color palettes, this book is a must-have resource for students, scholars, and design professionals in landscape architecture and its allied disciplines.
"In Landscape Design in Color, Mira Engler offers us new vistas, taking in the designed environment as well as the cultures they reflect. She breathes new life into old concepts central to art and design disciplines, such as disegno vs. colore, while her discussions of contemporary artists and designers provide points of connection to audiences well outside her field. Engaging with enduring theoretical debates as well as more current treatments of race and gender, this is interdisciplinarity at its most exciting and relevant."
The Department of Art and Architecture provides students with the opportunity to delve deeply into visual culture and the built environment. Broadly speaking, students study the role of art and architecture in shaping, embodying, and interpreting human experience. Some students may focus on creative discovery and expression or the design process, with the opportunity to explore perceptual and conceptual problem solving. Others may study formal analysis and research methods within an interdisciplinary approach to understanding historical context. All of our students are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to study studio art, art history, and architecture and design on semester abroad programs, to do internships in the field, and to do independent work at an advanced level. All three areas of study are designed to prepare students for continued education at the graduate school level.
In studio art, students study painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and imaging (photography, video, and new media). The major begins with rigorous introductory courses and quickly moves on to more focused intermediate and advanced offerings. Studio art courses at all levels are designed to help each student to explore a broad range of concepts, methods, and materials while developing individual ideas and a personal voice. Consistent throughout the studio art experience is attention to craft, development of a refined understanding of formal relationships, exercise of a rigorous practice of art making, and exposure to a broad range of historical and contemporary examples. As part of a liberal arts education, studio art is one of the few places where students can creatively engage in the development of a visual language, and this study prepares them for further study in graduate programs as well as a wide range of careers. Students often enrich their interests in studio arts with both similar and dissimilar majors and minors, including Economics, Architectural Studies, Writing and Rhetoric, Media and Society, and many more.
In art history, students choose from an array of courses covering all periods of the art and architecture of America, Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Islamic world. Advanced courses focus more intensively on specific disciplinary and interdisciplinary issues: artistic practice and patronage, the history of an important movement, gender in art, texts and images, historiography and theory, and exhibit planning and design. Art history students learn how to analyze visual culture and become adept at writing, research, and critical thinking, making them well prepared for careers in museums, art galleries, and auction houses; graduate study and a variety of careers that require these skills. Coursework in programs such as Critical Museum Studies, Media and Society, European Studies, Asian Studies, Women's Studies, English, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, Religious Studies, History, Anthropology, Economics, and Sociology complements the study of art history.
In architectural studies, students pursue a rigorous introduction to design thinking, embracing a liberal arts philosophy based on the belief that roundly educated individuals make the best architects. Interdisciplinary coursework informs students about the complex relationship between environmental sustainability and human habitation. Students become visual communicators, creative problem solvers, non-linear thinkers, and collaborative learners. The architectural studies major prepares graduates to enter a number of different fields in design, including architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, urban design, interior design, and historic preservation. Our students minor and double major in a range of areas across the Colleges to complement their design education in programs such as Environmental Studies, Urban Studies, Art History, Philosophy, Studio Art, and a host of other programs.
