We work at a range of scales – national, regional, district and site – dealing in the big picture by regarding landscape as the relationship between people and place. Landscape is conceptualised as having three main dimensions: physical, perceptual (aesthetic) and associative. Firstly, we unpick and scrutinise the various components of landscape; then we reassemble and interpret the landscape as a whole. The critical task of putting it all back to together again requires a convergence of evidence from different perspectives to gain a deeper, multi-layered appreciation of the land and the appropriate design response.
