Landscape architecture and architecture are two fields that exist in close proximity to one another. Some have argued that the two are, in fact, one field. Others maintain that the disciplines are distinct. These designations are a subject of continual debate by theorists and practitioners alike. Here, David Leatherbarrow offers an entirely new way of thinking of architecture and landscape architecture. Moving beyond partisan arguments, he shows how the two disciplines rely upon one another to form a single framework of cultural meaning. Leatherbarrow redefines landscape architecture and architecture as topographical arts, the shared task of which is to accommodate and express the patterns of our lives. Topography, in his view, incorporates terrain, built and unbuilt, but also traces of practical affairs, by means of which culture preserves and renews its typical situations and institutions. This rigorous argument is supported by nearly 100 illustrations, as well as examples of topography from the sixteenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, through the heroic period of early modernism, to more recent offerings. A number of these studies revise existing accounts of decisive moments in the history of these disciplines, particularly the birth of the informal garden, the emergence of continuous space in the landscapes and architecture of the modern period, and the new significance of landform or earthwork in contemporary architecture. For readers not directly involved with either of these professions, this book shows how over the centuries our lives have been shaped and enriched by landscape and architecture. Topographical Stories provides a new paradigm for theorizing and practicing landscape and architecture.

Not really the same ,nor entirely different ,landscape and architecture are quite simply similar to each other. Topography is the topic (theme ,framework ,place)they hold in common.
The task of landscape architecture and architecture, as topographical arts, is to provide the prosaic patterns of our lives with durable dimension and beautiful expression.
Which art has the responsibility for the design of a courtyard, for example? The answer is hardly clear when even the most well-known examples are considered, such as the courtyard at the Salk institute in La Jolla, California, or the forecourt at the Wexner Center in Columbus ,ohio.in the former case the landscape practices of Luis Barragan were no less important than the architectural concept of Luis I. Kahn. In the latter instance the... (查看原文)
A garden path
Landform is the outlook’s first paragraph on buildings, their similarity is assured:”both architecture and sculpture also strive to contribute to garden decoration. “here decoration dose not mean something accessory or adjunctive, but something that improves, accentuates, or crystallizes the terrain’s characteristics,
Thus the analogy between the several “room with a view “can be extended still further, to the settings for researchers whose mode of inquiry is “theoretical.” Here the topographical similarty might slight because of their elevation above the slope;;but the six cells on the third floor of the theory building that are dedicated to the scientists are also cavity like in their three-sided enclosure, and they face the unpatented mix of grass and trees beyond.
