20 Imagined Landscapes explores how physical models shape creative thinking in landscape architecture, architecture, and art. Through essays centered on individual models, contributors reflect on how working with materials such as wood, clay, and metal, alongside emerging fabrication tools, generates ideas, tests spatial relationships, and communicates design intent. The book examines the embodied and iterative nature of model-making as a process grounded in touch, observation, and experimentation rather than linear problem-solving. At a time when digital tools dominate design practice, these essays reaffirm the enduring value of tactile exploration and craftsmanship, revealing physical models as powerful instruments of discovery and storytelling.
