This issue covers the broad diversity of activities undertaken by landscape architects in Japan for the improvement and effective development of pleasant and functional outdoor spaces in the public realm – which also offer extraordinary experiences. The global challenges that landscape architects currently face are translated into specific scenes and everyday situations via social, cultural, and historical interpretations. Through themes like housing and landscape, scenery derived from relationships, and green urban extensions, a range of Japanese landscape projects is addressed and discussed in detail, along with numerous images and drawings.
