Patterns in the Landscape

Meer over het boek

The book evaluates two methodologies for understanding historic landscape character: the Rural Settlement Atlas and Historic Landscape Characterisation exercises. It focuses on the upland Upper Calder Valley, an underexplored area in landscape history. The author applies both methodologies, comparing their results with traditional approaches. A critical discussion of their common morphological basis precedes the evaluation, culminating in a new model that merges historical processes with morphological attributes, aiming for broader applicability beyond the South Pennines.
