Landscape Architecture

Whether you are researching a specific garden style, select park or garden, landscape architect, or movement there are similar techniques to follow when exploring your topic. 

• Think about important words or phrases that best describe your topic. Perhaps you are searching for information on a particular landscape architect or park, then you would want to search by name. If you are looking for a style or movement, use words that either name or best describe it. Start broadly and narrow down as you search as you go, refining your words as you learn how your topic is described most commonly in the literature. 

Not sure where to begin? Looking in a general landscape architecture encyclopedia is a always a good place to generate ideas. Please see the next box below for a few to get you started.
