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. Additional university programs are using the LAF Case Study Method in their teaching, including: the University of California at Berkeley, Iowa State University, University of Illinois, University of Oregon, Louisiana State University, the University of Miami, Florida A&M Univrsity, McGill University, Texas A&M University, University of Minnesota and Virginia Tech.
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.
LAF provides these PDF documents and links as a resource to the public and professionals who may use the information for research and practice. All are currently available on the internet. LAF takes no responsibility for their content and/or accuracy. Please contact the author(s) or departments responsible for more information.
