PRACTICE | PLACE | PEOPLE

We close this year with a special issue that presents a selection of recent landscape projects across diverse typologies and scales. In an increasingly imagesaturated world—where design is often reduced to polished visuals on social media—we remain committed to publishing the subtler, slower, and more revealing layers of design. Study sketches, analyses, plans, and working drawings—materials that rarely find space online—are integral to our journal. They enlighten about processes—how designers think, how sites are understood, and how ideas evolve long before a landscape is realized for photography.
