The Landscape Institute Library & Archive is under threat of dispersal

摘要

With this phrase, Professor McKean defines the impact on a learned institution should it be separated from its cultural heritage, and specifically what could happen to an institute of practising and academic professionals that has established a reputation out of years of experience and debate. This is the situation facing the Landscape Institute which represents Landscape Architects, Landscape Managers and Landscape Scientists; those concerned with the environment and working to conserve, develop andplan better places for us to live in, work in and enjoy, sometimes even celebrate. In the UK, membership is just over five and a half thousand, including those practising abroad, corporate members and other professional institutions. For each landscapearchitect in the UK there are some twenty architects.
