HUMANSCAPE:Environments For Peopleby Stephen Kaplan and Rachel Kaplan

HUMANSCAPE provides a unique perspective on humans and their relationship to the environ-ment. It provides an information processing point of view, but one that is more synthetic than istraditional. Here, territory and privacy, stress and coping, even aesthetics, are related within aninformational framework.

HUMANSCAPE deals with the uncertain environment in which humans find themselves and viewsthis uncertainty as both a problem and a challenge. For while uncertainty brings with it the threatof confusion, it can also provide the opportunity to test one’s skills, to venture, to explore.

THE EXPERIENCE OF LANDSCAPEby

JAY APPLETONWhen this book was first published by John Wiley & Sons in 1975 it set out to suggest ways andmeans of bridging the gap between theoretical aesthetics and the detailed and practical analysis ofactual landscapes through an appropriate system of symbolism.

Since then some of its concepts and terminology, such as ’habitat theory’ and ’prospect-refugetheory’, have been taken up and used by workers in many different disciplines.

However, because it challenged a number of philosophical ideas which were, and still are, widelyaccepted, it provoked hostility as well as assent, and it remains a controversial essay in environmentalaesthetics. Its publication for the first time in paperback should be welcomed by all those involved inthe study of landscape as it is encountered in geography, architecture, landscape design,environmental psychology, literature, art history, etc., or who are puzzled to find an answer to thetwo questions raised at the outset:

’What do we like about landscape’? ’Why do we like it’?
