In the sciences, environmental media are the materials of the natural world--soils, air, water, plants, microbes.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin STS and media studies, \"environmental media\" refers broadly to the relationship between environmental issues--such as pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change--and the creation and application of the tools, interfaces, and images, through which information about these issues is conveyed. This book focuses on how these two distinct understandings of environmental media coalesce within the discipline of landscape architecture and other spatial design fields. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthors from a wide-range of disciplines--landscape architecture, media studies, history of science, civil engineering, ecology, planning, and architecture--examine how the creation and use of data, images, and models acts as intermediaries--the mediums through which a particular understanding of \"environment\" or \"landscape\" arises. This framing of environmental media emphasizes the relationships among various design media and the specific material and social environments within which they operate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Applied Research \u0026amp; Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957183671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Karen M'Closkey,Keith Vandersys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924716945589,"sku":"9781957183671","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7a7ef2cd-7bae-4834-a29c-fdd9cd2c9de6.jpg?v=1761660580","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/media-matters-in-landscape-architecture-9781957183671","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
