Landscape architectural design and abstract graphic language: an investigation into the use of abstract diagrams as a tool for communication in programming

The goal of this research was to examine the commonality of abstract diagram use in landscape architectural design by meeting the objectives of: (1) developing a use-pattern profile of abstract diagrams for design communication in the programming process, i.e., determine which diagram type is used for the communication of which programmatic design issues by private-practice firms, and (2) determining the perceptions of landscape architects in regard to clarity of understanding, ease of preparation, and frequency of use of these diagrams, also identifying any association between these perceptions.
