Innate Terrain: Canadian Landscape Architecture

"Innate Terrain is a welcome addition to literature about Canadian landscape architecture. Representing perspectives and work from sea to sea to sea, the book exposes the unique challenges and approaches of each region and the profession as a whole to embrace reconciliation, resiliency, and restoration in the twenty-first century."

Cynthia Girling, Professor in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, University of British Columbia

"Innate Terrain provides a comprehensive and sensitive overview of the role of landscape architecture in Canada as a way to understand the influence of design as well as documenting an evolving and important change in our perception of land and its stewardship. Alissa North has compiled an amazing group of thinkers that not only helps to shape our understanding of the discipline in Canada but also serves as a model to unpack the complex cultural, geological, and ecological relationships of our contemporary condition."

Bradley Cantrell, Chair and Professor in Landscape Architecture, University of Virginia School of Architecture

"Alissa North has curated an excellent collection of papers that represent the breadth and complexity of the Canadian built and natural environment and also the diversity and richness of the authors and their points of view. This book will help in continuing to define what Canadian culture, identity, and landscape are and also what they are becoming – the innate terrain."
