JoLA-Journal of Landscape Architecture

From the JoLA-Journal of Landscape Architecture web site, http://www.jola-lab.eu/www/about.html: "JoLA is the peer-reviewed academic Journal of Landscape Architecture established by the European Coucil of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS) in 2006. In addition to the central section of four to six research papers, it has two distinctive sections: the first, “Under the Sky”, presents a critical reading of a Landscape Architecture project each issue. Since critical judgement is a key element of design and planning process, we hope to promote innovative approaches to critique of projects as a part of theory building in Landscape Architecture. The second, “Thinking Eye” is a Visual Essay section. Its motivation is to offer a platform for explorations and experiments in visual culture of or related to Landscape Architecture. These peer-reviewed sections are accompanied by book reviews, academic notes and editorial. The rich and diverse cultural backgrounds of European Landscape Architecture require exposure to global contexts – JoLA has a European base, but is internationally oriented and seeks to offer global perspectives, both in terms of submissions and readership. In 2009, Jola received the prestigious ASLA Award of Excellence in Communications, awarded by the American Society of Landscape Architects". Published by the German publisher Callway till "Autumn 2011" issue, JoLA is currently publsiehd by Routledge. Bianca Maria Rinaldi joined the international team of 5 editors in 2010. She is responsible for the book reviews section. Other editors are: Karsten Jörgensen, professor of Landscape Architecture at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences di Oslo; Kelly Shannon, Professor of Landscape aarchitecture at the Oslo School of Architecture in Oslo and the KU-Catholic University in Leuven; Bernadette Blanchon-Caillot, Associate professor of Landscape Architecture at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Paysage in Versailles; Catherine Dee, Senior Lecturer in Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield.
