Temporality in Designed Landscapes: the Theory and Its Practice in Works of Some Major Landscape Designers 1945-2005 Temporality in Designed Landscapes: the theory and its practice in works of some major landscape designers 1945-2005 A Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Social Science by LEE HEYKOOP DEPARTMENT of LANDSCAPE University of Sheffield June 2015 i | P a g e ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Most importantly I would like to thank my supervisor Anna Jorgensen who has guided, restrained and encouraged at appropriate times. Her reminders about not assuming that others see as I do enabled improved articulation of key ideas. I would also like to thank my second supervisor, Cathy Dee, for her rigorous critiquing, and her important contribution to the structure of this research. And, a huge thank you to my wonderful children, Judi, Laura and Laurence, who, in their teen years, in the early years of my research, tolerated the impact of my temporal squeeze, and who have been so supportive throughout all the happenings over subsequent years. Personal thanks aside, a number of writers in this thesis have fired my thinking, and to them I am extremely grateful: Arnold Berleant, Edmund Husserl, Mikhail Bakhtin, Michel Conan, Stephen Bann, Anita Berrizbeitia, Elizabeth Grosz, Elizabeth Meyer, Ian Thompson, and Marc Treib. ii | P a g e ABSTRACT This study analyses temporality in designed landscapes. The meaning of temporality is explored, taking us beyond common conceptualisations of time. Temporality, invariably poorly understood in a landscape context, and previously acknowledged as being important, but with only limited explicit discourse, is examined through the lens of a fresh theoretical articulation of temporality pertaining to designed landscapes. A phenomenological approach becomes imperative; and is employed in probing the work, through writing, of several eminent landscape designers between 1945 and 2005. These designers’ works are analysed through the texts, and with support from images of the works, for characteristics of temporality. Textual material offered a broad range of verbal articulation of these characteristics. Some designed landscapes are described with explicit verbalisation of their temporal qualities: others require analysis to discover their temporal qualities from text that is only mildly suggestive. The heterochronous characteristics of temporality expressed in these designers’ works are named and ordered within five themes: tempo, process, duration, imagination and layers. Theoretical understanding of temporality builds with identification of its applications in designed landscapes. iii | P a g e TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract pIII Chapter 1.

INTRODUCTION DEFINITION OF TEMPORALITY The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) gives a definition of temporality as, “something existing in a condition relating to time”. For the purposes of this study a closer definition is needed, one less broadly all-encompassing, that can be brought to bear on some important aspects of landscape experience. Landscape architecture is concerned with design interventions in outdoor areas to make improvements related to environmental, social and aesthetic outcomes. The focus of this study though will turn towards human users (as sentient recipients, differentiated from other living organisms). More precisely human users feature as it is they whom landscape practitioners and theorists think of and empathise with. This then entails a phenomenological approach with the investigation looking at temporality as it is sensed (by people). My working definition of temporality, then, will be: a sense of time. This simple sounding invocation, a sense of time, entails the reader’s effort to mentally disengage from measured time and universal time; engaging instead with time, temporality, as we experience it and as it is meaningful to ourselves. In some respects it is useful to hold on to the OED meaning, since phenomenology and temporality are intertwined to the extent that the question could be asked whether what the sensing person senses is necessarily temporal. How is a person able to sense something that is not temporal, since not only does everything in this world have a temporal nature, but a person’s act of sensing is in itself a temporal process? Phenomenology in this work is understood as not having its references restricted to the study of sensations of phenomena; as having the ‘much wider range, addressing the meaning things have in our experience’ (Smith 2013, p1). The study of phenomenology includes the structure of internal experiences that ‘rang(e) from perception, thought, memory, imagination, emotion, desire, and volition to bodily awareness, embodied action, and social activity’; which all 1 | P a g e involve Husserl’s "intentionality" (ibid p2). Smith (ibid p4) expands on this characteristic in our interaction with the world: awareness-of-experience is a defining trait of conscious experience, the trait that gives experience a first-person, lived character. It is that lived character of experience that allows a first-person perspective on the object of study, namely, experience, and that perspective is characteristic of the methodology of phenomenology. Throughout the study there will be references to landscape designers giving clear consideration to ‘that lived character of experience’ (ibid) and it is this that is intended when a phenomenological approach is called upon. Following Husserl, phenomenological responses enlisted in the study are a combination of the objective and subjective (logical and psychological) (ibid p7). CONTEXT TO THE STUDY In Modern Park Design: recent trends, the book from papers of the 1992 Rotterdam landscape symposium, ‘The Park', one of the editorial comments states that the ‘acknowledgement of time’ is the main distinguishing feature between architects and landscape architects; but that ‘the exact definition of time and its role in park design has not become clear' (Knuijt et al 1993, p82). This comment followed Norfried Pohl’s contributing paper, in which he made considerable mention of time in landscape design, yet found that: 'Time is a difficult idea. And I don't know if I have a concept of time’ (Pohl 1993, p82, italics added). This confusion about time within the profession of landscape architecture, a kind of sense of its importance accompanied by

    The Surface of Public Space Working with the “Plane” to Design Urban Voids PAOLA VERONICA DELL’AIRA1 At the end of the 1940s they taught me that architecture was about mass and volume. Space arrived in the 1950s. Denise Scott Brown Abstract: This Paper examines the “return to the surface” in the design of contempo- rary urban space: shunned by modernist thinking, this dimension has now reacquired importance and ... “relief”. The surface, horizontal and vertical, is no longer a space of capricious decoration. Landscaping, texture, colour, tactile, visual and audio effects are now structuring materials. They configure weak actions with strong effects. The soil, in particular, is the “skin” of public space, its face. Promenades, piazzas, widen- ings, crossroads, grow more complex in their performance and image, intensifying the experience of their use. They indicate specific functions, through a design of palimp- sests. They draw lines on the ground for team sports, trace maps for the installation of furnishings, host technological networks, bring light and air to underground spaces and incorporate lighting. Like façades, soils also multiply their layering to become complex technological and bioclimatic devices. For example, ventilated walls and “dry laid” paving. Or vertical screens, brise-soleil and silkscreened walls, rises and drops, undulations and level changes, technical floors, raised paving, plug-in grids, landscaped parterres: from the second screen to ... the second pavement! This text describes techniques, morphological developments and feasibility and offers an excursus through examples from past and recent history. Keywords: public urban space, dematerialization, void, design of the soil, return to the surface, working “with the plane”, “horizontal” action, second pavement, patchwork, design on the ground.

    SWA Group Design and Planning Services for Colleges and Universities Stanford University /// Stanford, California For over 30 years SWA has been working with Stanford University to reclaim the 100 year old master plan vision of Leland Stanford and Frederick Law Olmsted for the campus. This series of campus improvement projects has restored the historic axis, open spaces and landscape patterns. Integrating the university’s facilities needs with a long-term landscape vision, the projects recover the campus’s historic axes, open space patterns and juxtaposition of formal landscape spaces with naturalistic landscapes within the central campus. SWA also provided planning, approval processing and landscape services for the Sand Hill Road Corridor projects including Stanford West Apartments, the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel and Office development, Stanford Shopping Center expansion, and Stanford West Senior Housing. SWA Group “After many projects, I continue to work with SWA because of their commitment to excellence in design of course, but as importantly in team collaboration, client service and in shared responsibility for the results of the project over the long run.” David J. Neuman, FAIA, University of Virginia (formerly of Stanford University) For over five decades, SWA has been recognized as a world leader in landscape architecture, planning and urban design. Our projects, located in more than 60 countries, have garnered over 700 awards, and many of our principals are widely acknowledged as among the industry’s most talented and experienced designers and planners. After emerging in 1959 as the West Coast office of Sasaki, Walker and Associates, the firm first assumed the SWA Group name in 1975.

Additional information comes from vital records of Community Registry Office. This grave list is published on the Alemannia Judaica website. Family history details were compiled in 2009 - 2011 by Rolf Hofmann together with Herbert Immenkötter. Of great help was Gernot Römer’s remarkable book “An meine Gemeinde in der Zerstreuung” (circular letters by Augsburg Rabbi Ernst Jacob 1941-1949) with family history details which otherwise we would not have been able to gather. This list is inevitably incomplete, it contains errors and does not cover all death cases of Augsburg Jewish families between the opening of the Augsburg Jewish cemetery (1867) and the liquidation of the Jewish community (ca 1940) because of limited available resources. However, there is a wealth of information on many Jewish families who then had lived in Augsburg - valuable for descendants, historians as well as genealogists.
