Landscape Simulation

Review and Potential

  • Chapter

Abstract

As is true of all environmental design, planning, and management fields, the use of simulations is, and for a long time, has been an integral part of the process of conceptualizing and producing new landscape designs and plans. Although the concept of simulation is old, the use of the term is relatively new. Plans, perspectives, and models are all simulations but were rarely called that and probably still aren’t by most designers and planners. We tend to use the term for more sophisticated techniques that are used for graphic analysis and communications of design, planning and management ideas and images. That is not the case in this chapter. The term is used to include a broad array of graphic analysis and communications media used for these purposes.
