Some of the interesting points from the lecture:
- The difficulty of landscape architecture, in that has a difficult relation to scale and time.
- Suspicion of contemporary architecture's desire to control and create a false image of nature through living walls and green atria.
- Architects tend only to be interested in very particular parts of landscape architecture; perennials and living walls.
- Loss of agency of landscape architects as a discipline due to a tendency towards graphic design in practice.
- The distance between trees in a project is not based on biological reasons, but should be a design decision.
- Landscape design in an urban context should be simple to deal with the complexity of the city.
- Especially in Europe, the distinction between native and exotic plants is a false one, since it is impossible to tell which plants are truly native (especially in a time of climate change)
