Guidelines for Authors
Introduction
Landscape Architecture Frontier (LA Frontiers) is hosted by Higher Education Press and Peking University, with Prof. Yu Kongjian, professor of the College of Architecture and Landscape of Peking University and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, acting as the editor-in-chief.
LA Frontiers is published worldwide in English and Chinese (ISSN 2096-336X). It has been included in the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) Database, and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). It was awarded the Honor Award in Communications Category by American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) in 2015.
Aims and Scope
Landscape is a complex made up of land and objects on it, and a system developed by the interaction between nature and human beings. Landscape architecture is a discipline covering theories, approaches, techniques, and arts concerning analysis, changes, and management of landscape.
LA Frontiers will put its focus on the intersecting spheres of academic research and design practice in landscape architecture, discussing new opinions, theories, and approaches to addressing environmental and ecological issues through landscape architecture; advocating new aesthetics and new culture which benefit the beauty of China and the world by introducing and promoting the most recent practice of landscape architecture. It acts as a bridge connecting research and social needs, science and art, leading the development of the discipline. Our audience includes researchers and professional architects, faculties and students, policymakers in related fields and people who work on environmental constructions in both urban and rural areas.
Description of Main Columns
Papers
Paper (including research papers, research designs, and reviews) seeks discussion on the structure and function of landscape and the law of relation between them, and the natural and cultural process and their relation in landscape, the relation between landscape as an integrated system and human social system, especially the service to human society provided by landscape (including producing and supporting service, environmental conditioning service, and cultural service in recreation, aesthetics, education, and spiritual belief).
