PRESENTATION
Landscape architecture, as a branch of science, deals with fields of design,
planning, and management by combining science, art, engineering, and
technology and taking into account natural, cultural and social factors.
Landscape architecture bounds tightly with other planning and design
professions as its study area covers a wide range of topics and scales. Given
this, landscape architecture is often regarded as a bridge that connects the
social sciences, the natural sciences, the art science, and the society and nature
subjects.
Professional English, which expresses a usage form with terminologies and
sentence patterns on a field basis, is supported by abbreviations valid in
business life. Professional English, which requires the ability to communicate
and write appropriate terms according to the sector and its specialty, is learned
within a language education aimed at dominating certain terms and patterns. It
is even more important in some more comprehensive sections One of which is
the Landscape Architecture branch.
In Turkey, graduation in landscape architecture has initiated since 1937.
Despite having a long history of education on this major, the lack of scientific
resources in Turkish is strongly felt as the major sources are in English
language. To educate the students studying in landscape architecture better,
they need to have adequate command of English. Hence, I believe this work
will be a solution addressing the main challenge exiting in the field.
I would like to wholeheartedly thank the editor and the author of the book:
Technical English for Students of Landscape Architecture, Assoc. Prof. Sima
POUYA, who sincerely and diligently worked to during the preparation of the
book. I also like to express my gratitude to all the authors who contributed to
the book. Finally, I hope the book will be a useful source among the other
landscape architecture related resources.
