  • This study describes the recognition and the application of materials corresponding to the formative language of landscape design as the formative process of creating connote forms and meanings in a space. The purpose of this study is to propose the significance of materiality not only for conveying the meaning of landscape but also for providing expanded experience through synesthetic perception. The study consists of two parts: (1) The concept of materiality in landscape architecture is studied in three categories, which are divided in chronological order when the recognition of materials was changed. (2) Based on this exploration of the concept of materiality and the ways of expressing it that have developed from landscape arts to landscape architecture, the significance of materiality as the medium of contemporary landscape design is proposed. Breaking from previous technical and engineering approaches to materials and from a vision-centered recognition of materials, this study focuses on aesthetic and semantic aspects of materiality and is based on multidimensional recognition though synesthesia. Materiality has significance not only as the dynamic medium that carries the meaning of landscape by providing connections with the surrounding environmental context, but also as the engagement medium that expands observers' experiences with the environment through synesthesia. The study of materiality as the medium of landscape design would contribute to expanding the scope of the language of landscape design and to expressing the meaning of landscape through materiality being revealed on the basis of converted recognition of materials.

  • This study aims to analyze the frequency of the use of internet web sites for information on landscape trees, and to suggest an improved direction for internet information content concerning of landscape trees. 10 areas of 5internet web-sites that are presented by an internet search with Yahoo Korea, Empas and Naver were studied for their importance and satisfaction degrees by landscape architects who use them. The users recognized the importance of the contents of the internet web-sites for landscape trees, but were not satisfied with it. It was proposed that the web-sites should provide higher quality information on the growth history, price, shipping and handling, payment and the place of origin. Especially, the paper proposes that web-sites should more aggressively utilize information on the quality of landscape trees such as tree forms, trimming states of roots, etc.
