The LAF Case Study Method for Landscape Architecture (Mark Francis, 1999) has been adopted as
the required format for graduate and undergraduate theses in landscape architecture,
architecture and planning at California Polytechnic University, University of Washington,
University of Nevada in Las Vegas, and Kansas State University. The University of
California at Berkeley, Iowa State University, University of Illinois, University of
Oregon, Louisiana State University, and the University of Miami are also using the
LAF method.
LAF is currently expanding beyond its book publication efforts to make landscape
architecture case studies more widely available. LAF will be posting case studies
that use the LAF Case Study Method for Landscape Architecture on the LAF web site,
as well as encouraging the development of even more studies.
With many schools, individuals and firms conducting case studies based on LAF's
Case Study Method, a critical mass of in-depth studies of places and issues has been developed.
