“…Others conceptualize landscape as a perceived entity. Scholars who are part of this tradition argue that it is not only important to study how the landscape works, but also how the landscape is experienced (Van der Knaap, 1997; Van Etteger et al, 2016; Wylie, 2005). This perception of the real-life physical landscape is not static.…”

Considering the importance of visual representations for communication between stakeholders in landscape planning and design processes, the authors identify a lack of critical visual research methods supportive of the disciplines involved. As part of such a method, they have developed an analytical framework based on semiotic and iconographic theory that enables a visual content analysis and iconographic interpretation of landscape design representations. Two projects from Rebuild by Design, a participatory transdisciplinary design competition organized in the New York City area after hurricane Sandy, were analysed to demonstrate this framework. The article presents a semiotic vocabulary based on four categories: medium, mode, formulation and knowledge with which to ‘read’, discuss and potentially create design representations. This enables a syntactic analysis for assessing the semiotic complexity of design representations in terms of validity, readability and interactivity. This assessment enables further qualitative study of the production and interpretation of landscape design representations in practice.

The article presents the results of research on optimization of interaction between natural and urban structures by applying the principles of landscape architecture. The research seeks to answer how landscape architecture can be beneficial in pursuit for the sustainable coexistence of nature and the city, what forms the creative field of landscape architecture in the urban environment and what determines the optimal expression of landscape architectural means in the urban landscape. The research is carried out in the city of Vilnius (Lithuania), but methods of the problem analysis and research can be easily adapted to other cities. The hypothesis of the research states that landscape architecture is an integral part of sustainable urban development and urban design paradigm, while applying the methods and principles of creation of landscape architecture, city's ecological, aesthetic and socio-functional needs are optimally matched and solved by combining them into a unified, sustainable three-member system operating in time and generating continuous natural and social processes. The article presents the conclusions of the research results concerning the factors determining the quality and specifics of interaction between landscape architecture and urbanism, in respect of optimal methods of interaction research, expression indicators and evaluation criteria.

“…This theory states that art function is to have aesthetic properties in virtue of having certain non-aesthetic properties. Thus, aesthetic properties, which must be delineated with reference to beauty and ugliness as the central aesthetic properties, would depend on non-aesthetic ones [39].…”

The presence of solar energy systems has increased significantly in recent years both in rural areasin the form of solar farms-, and in urban areas as part of building installations. This transformation of the landscape, in spite of the good social acceptance of solar energy, causes an aesthetic impact whose interest has been growing in literature in recent years. This study aimed to review prior literature in order to establish the objective factors, aesthetic perception and methods that are most relevant when assessing the aesthetic impact. As a result of the lack of consensus, a new qualitative theoretical framework is proposed that can serve as a basis for future research in the field of the integration of solar energy and its aesthetic impact. The framework comprises three sub-impacts: land use, solar system energy and glare. The results are discussed for future research and innovation in building photovoltaic integration and for SES site location and its environmental impact assessments. Number of words excluding table/figure captions and references: 9686.
