Artificial Intelligence in Landscape Architecture - A Literature R
Artificial Intelligence in Landscape Architecture - A Literature R
4 1 Abstract
5 The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more common in landscape architecture. New
6 methods and applications are proliferating yearly and are being touted as viable tools for research
7 and practice. While researchers have conducted assessments of the state of AI-driven research
8 and practice in allied disciplines, there is a knowledge gap for the same in landscape architecture.
9 This literature review begins to fill the gap by searching and evaluating studies specifically
10 focused on AI and disciplinary umbrella terms (landscape architecture, landscape planning, and
11 landscape design). It includes searches of academic databases and industry publications that
12 combine these umbrella terms with the main subfields of artificial intelligence as a discipline
14 processing, optimization). Initial searches returned over 600 articles, which were then filtered for
15 relevance, resulting in about one hundred articles that were reviewed in depth. The work
17 argues for unifying dissemination and compilation in research and practice so as not to lose
18 relevant AI-LA knowledge and be caught off guard in the built environment profession’s next
19 technological leap.

23 1 Introduction
24 Leaders in landscape architecture have declared the need to consolidate data and
25 expertise from disciplines such as engineering, land planning, agriculture, and ecological
26 sciences to give “artistic physical form to modern ideals of equity, sustainability, resilience, and
27 democracy” (ASLA Is Committed to Climate Action, n.d.; New Landscape Declaration, 2016).
28 Such an assertion is fitting since landscape architects see their profession as an intersection
29 among all others dealing with spatial issues (Kullmann, 2016). As designers of all types of
30 exterior spaces, landscape architects’ work involves near-constant coordination with experts in
31 allied fields. This is especially evident in the current state of practice, where projects are
32 increasingly scaling up in scope to meet open-ended, territorial scale challenges (Bryant, 2021;
33 Polk, 2015). Yet, for all the diverse ways designers engage across disciplines, most simply lack
34 the time, knowledge, or background to account for the sheer number of ‘design problem’
35 permutations arising from multifaceted issues such as climate change resilience, large-scale
36 ecological degradation, and social equity. To this end, there is an emerging discussion around the
37 potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to address such limitations. The discussion includes topics
38 like laying a historical groundwork for AI (Z. Zhang, 2020), current and potential AI
39 applications to landscape architecture (Cantrell et al., 2021), proposing machine learning primers
40 and ontologies (Alina et al., 2016; Fernberg et al., 2021; Tebyanian, 2020), gauging the potential
41 for AI in coastal adaptation (Z. Zhang & Bowes, 2019), and conceptualizing an autonomous
44 knowledge seekers to turn to adjacent disciplines where the research is less nascent. The majority
45 of current research in AI systems for landscape design or planning focuses on either conceptual
3
46 exercises or somewhat singular tools for specific applications. Even if current explorations evoke
48 questions:
52 This literature review seeks to lay a foundation to begin answering these questions. In it,
53 we: 1) establish a scope of review for landscape architecture and its subfields, 2) identify a
54 framework for artificial intelligence as a research area within which to embed the landscape
55 disciplines (i.e. the definition of AI as a discipline along with its sub-fields), 3) combine those
56 terms to perform a literature search using online databases, and 4) after refining results, we
57 provide a summary of trends, highlight emergent themes, and present the need for a future AI-
62 delineate what falls under its purview. Grading, for instance, is a design exercise that can
63 reasonably be claimed by both engineers and landscape architects but is often taught, talked
64 about, and executed quite differently by each discipline. The same holds for many activities
66 landscape history, etc.). We recognize defining the scope of practice within landscape
67 architecture is integral for a comprehensive and systematic review of AI’s pervasion into the
69 frameworks such as the Landscape Architecture Body of Knowledge (LABOK) survey findings
70 (2004) or Langley et al.’s knowledge domains of landscape architecture (2018). However, the
71 combination of these multi-level conceptual frameworks with the scope of artificial intelligence
72 is extremely vast. There have indeed been efforts to frame the context of the AI-LA knowledge
73 base (Cantrell et al., 2021; Tebyanian, 2020; Z. Zhang, 2020), but these works did not intend to
74 comprehensively review and formalize an AI-LA framework. Thus, for this review, we first
75 needed to establish a simple but encompassing disciplinary scope as the foundation for this
77 comprises design and planning as two distinct subfields of creative work (1994). Hence our
78 scope uses the three disciplinary terms from Ogrin: landscape architecture, landscape design, and
79 landscape planning. These are often used interchangeably, and though sometimes seen as distinct
80 in detailed discussions of practice, they can confidently be lumped into a representative set that
81 represents the same discipline for the purposes of this review (von Haaren et al., 2014).
83 The Oxford English Dictionary defines the term artificial intelligence (or AI) as “the
84 theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human
86 between languages.” In the context of the AEC industry, the is often used colloquially as a catch-
87 all for highly technical or computational approaches toward design and automation. The term
88 machine learning is also used in common speak, often interchangeably with AI, even though it
89 technically represents only a subset of the AI field. The scope of AI is extremely vast, which has
90 led to the derivation of several subfields or branches. Here we outline some of the more common
91 subfields seen in literature to provide a framework for how we conceptualize the contributions
5
92 and application of AI within landscape architecture. The primary subfields we explore in this
94 Robotics, 5) Natural Language Processing and 6) Optimization (Abioye et al., 2021; Public
95 Health Agency Canada, 2020). We acknowledge there is a range of other proposed subfields
96 (Chiabai et al., 2018; Mata et al., 2018; Zhu & Yan, 2015), but for this review we chose these six
98 Machine learning. Machine Learning is one branch of AI, but the techniques often underpin a
99 range of different subfields. The term itself may often be used as a synonym for artificial
100 intelligence, perhaps because it is not well understood by non-experts or the diversity of AI
101 subfields is not well understood (and ever changing). In simple terms, machine learning focuses
102 on using statistical methods and models that can redefine and refine themselves to “learn.”
104 learning necessitates a system to observe data, conduct analyses, and output to improve its
105 understanding of the analyzed phenomenon (Bzdok et al., 2018; Kotsiantis et al., 2007).
106 Unsupervised also uses statistical techniques which are suited to discovering patterns without
107 outputs or interaction with another agent such as a human or other computer system (Hastie et
108 al., 2009; Tarca et al., 2007). Reinforcement learning includes techniques where the computer
109 agent is intended to explore a set of actions or situations and then learn or anticipate outcomes
110 from different choice options (Sutton, 1992); the system learns the relationship between
111 consequence and action (Chandak et al., 2019; Huang, 2021). A simple example of machine
112 learning is an online application that learns purchasing habits and begins to make
113 recommendations based on your own patterns and those of individuals like you.
6
114 Knowledge-based Systems (KBS). Knowledge-based systems are focused on using existing
115 knowledge to enable computational decision making. This subfield aims to develop inferences
116 about knowledge and enable user interaction to support, supplement or engage complex systems
117 (Akerkar & Sajja, 2009). These systems may require constructed representations of knowledge
118 (e.g. that use an ontology) with a particular focus on the relationship of the meaning of elements
119 within the set of knowledge. A KBS is an agent that adapts or creates inferences (Bergmann et
120 al., 2005) based on existing knowledge. While these systems have existed for some time, they
121 are not as popular given newer development in AI (Abdullah et al., 2006).
122 Computer Vision. Computer vision may be one of the more popular known AI techniques
123 within landscape architecture because of the subfield’s pursuits of simulating human perception
124 of visual elements (Szeliski, 2010). There are a range of approaches used in this subfield, with
125 some of the more recent oriented toward machine learning approaches. Computer Vision focuses
126 on pattern recognition (Chen, 2015) and object extraction (Prince, 2012). A popular tool
127 landscape architects use is Google Lens, which can identify a whole host of plants using
129 Robotics. Robotics is centered on the use of sensors, often coupled with machine learning (often
130 reinforcement) and computer vision, to automate tasks. Robotics can encompass technology such
131 as autonomous vehicles (Faisal et al., 2019) and lawnmowers (Wasif, 2011), as well as systems
132 to irrigate and weed agricultural lands (Talaviya et al., 2020). Robotics can serve to replace
133 human actions but can also offer new forms of collaboration (Vrontis et al., 2022).
134 Natural Language Processing (NLP). Natural language processing is another subfield that
135 focuses on learning language and then recreating it to generate meaningful responses or outputs.
136 NLP uses a range of techniques to form an understanding of language, including grammar and
7
137 lexicon, learning and language processing (statistical techniques), constructs and representation
138 (meaning and action), and techniques to manipulate language and learn the appropriateness of
140 Optimization. Optimization is another subfield within AI, that may often be misrepresented
141 within landscape architecture. While designers often attempt to optimize a given space, or
142 develop parametric models to aid in design, AI approaches necessitate some kind of learning or
143 algorithm to support the optimization. An important lesson here is that AI approaches usually
144 require a specific delineation of the problem in some quantifiable means. The techniques often
145 associated with optimization in AI are usually associated with search algorithms (Mirjalili &
146 Dong, 2020), such as genetic algorithms (Chamberlain & Meitner, 2009; Li et al., 2013),
148 Importantly for all the subfields identified, the quantitative expression of constraints,
149 goals, inputs and outputs (when applicable) must be well defined. Fernberg and Chamberlain
150 (Fernberg et al., 2021) state that nearly every application of AI requires creating ontologies,
151 methods, data mining or expert-based learning and developing statistical approaches to facilitate
152 reasoning and may be done explicitly or implicitly. While humans play a range of defining roles
153 in AI, the key is that the machine is the learning agent. Learning happens, typically, with
154 abundant data, a clear language, and a reliable set of rules to follow.
155 3 Methodology
156 This section lays out a protocol for implementing our systematic review. In it, we
157 describe the process for searching, screening, and selecting literature that is sufficiently relevant
158 to the research objectives. Landscape Architecture encompasses activities and processes from a
159 range of disciplines. Many LA-related fields already have extensive AI-related literature reviews,
8
160 such as urban forestry (César de Lima Araújo et al., 2021), urban design and planning (Abusaada
161 & Elshater, 2021; L. Yang et al., 2022), transportation (Abduljabbar et al., 2019), land use
162 planning (Chaturvedi & de Vries, 2021), horticulture (B. Yang & Xu, 2021), construction
163 (Abioye et al., 2021) and a range of others. For this review, we narrowed articles to specific
165 To be included in our review, articles must exist within a searchable English-based
166 literature database. All years of publication were included, though the recency of AI in literature
167 is relatively new (post 2000s). The initial literature search utilized three databases: Scopus,
168 IEEE, and JSTOR. Each of these was chosen to provide expansive interdisciplinary coverage
169 across the arts, humanities, and sciences—all of which are integral in some way to the landscape
170 and AI fields. JSTOR and a digital humanities affiliate called Constellate were used to find
171 landscape architecture industry insights, as JSTOR currently houses every issue of the official
172 periodical for the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)—currently operating with
173 the moniker Landscape Architecture Magazine or LAM—from its first publication in 1910 up
174 until 2015. The most recent issues of LAM, from 2016 to the present, were searched and
177 source, while the others were used for full article download and data validation.
179 The search terms comprised two lists, one encompassing all relevant AI techniques and
180 methods (and spelling modifiers) and one representing what we deem to be core landscape
181 discipline terms, organized into two single-line text strings then combined with the Boolean
182 operator AND. These terms were adapted from previous literature reviews of AI (Abioye et al.,
9
183 2021; Emaminejad & Akhavian, 2022; Tebyanian, 2020; Wu & Silva, 2010; Yigitcanlar et al.,
184 2020) with some additional terms we added in order to be more exhaustive. We did not limit
186 Line 1 (AI Search Terms): “Robotics” OR “Computer vision”, OR “Machine learning” OR
190 Discriminant Analysis” OR “Monte Carlo” OR “Deep Belief” OR “Deep Boltzmann” OR “Deep
196 AND
199 Scopus initially returned 528 results and IEEE returned 67. The search query could not be
200 effectively executed in the JSTOR database due to character limitations and a catalog method
201 which returned too many irrelevant results. We attempted to custom code our search using URL
202 hacks, but the results were still highly problematic. To ensure due diligence and not leave a
203 resource entirely, we attempted a simple Boolean-limited search using “Landscape Architecture”
204 and “Artificial Intelligence”. The initial return was >6000 results, and a quick browse of the first
10
205 several dozens of these results found the included articles to be completely irrelevant to the topic.
206 However, after doing an advanced search in which the publication title had to contain the word
207 “landscape”, we were able to narrow the results to a return of 56 articles, three of which
208 contained a directly relevant subject matter (Lindhult, 1988; McCarthy & Portner, 1980; von
209 Wodtke, 1988). While these articles are not included in the formal results of our systematic
210 search, they will be touched on in the Discussion section. Furthermore, to account for other
211 sources that may not have been included in the systematic search process, we investigated
212 Google Scholar, Google. On Google Scholar and Google (web search) we used the same two
213 Boolean-limited search terms as used with JSTOR. These did not result in any substantially
216 Metadata and bibliographic information on the initial search results were exportable from
217 all databases and done so in two ways. The first was to export the saved searches in .RIS format
218 to Zotero reference management software, where each article’s bibliographic information along
219 with links to full text were organized into database-specific folders. The second data collection
220 method was an export of the saved searches into .CSV files, one from each database. The data
221 were then cleaned and combined into a common attribution structure joined into a single .CSV
222 file, which served as the principal dataset for our review and analyses. A cleaned table of the
225 While the initial search returned a somewhat digestible literature chunk, it also returned
226 many duplicates and articles which seemed irrelevant to the purposes of this review—either
227 because the work did not constitute a true investigation of AI, did not utilize AI methods, or did
11
228 not reasonably fall into the scope of landscape architecture/design or landscape planning, despite
230 To decide whether a study met the inclusion criteria of the review, we created a Python
231 script to further refine our master database. The code iterated through each item, by combining
232 the title, abstract and keywords and then identifying the frequency of keywords used that
233 matched our search terms. We used the same disciplinary search terms (“landscape architecture”,
234 “landscape design” and “landscape planning”) and then separated each of the subfields of AI
235 with their specific terms (each term listed was in quotes and shortened words utilized * for
238 reinforcement learning, deep learning, k-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, fuzzy
239 clustering, model-based clustering, linear discriminant analysis, monte carlo, deep belief,
240 deep boltzmann, deep learning, convolutional neural network, stacked autoencoders,
244 • Computer Vision: computer vision, scene reconstruction, motion analysis, image
247 • Natural Language Processing: natural language processing, speech processing, text
249 • Optimization: optimiz, optimis, discrete optimi, convex optimi, evolutionary comput,
250 evolutionary algorithm, genetic algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm, swarm
251 intelligence.
252 The script then coded each literature with the number of instances each of the disciplinary
253 terms and subfield keywords indicated in the matched fields, as well as a general search for
254 “artificial intelligence.” We further refined our data by eliminating any instances where no
255 keywords were present. This process provided a validation of the database search, by offering
256 complete control over the included literature. Further, as the script processed each literature row,
257 it identified if a duplicate article was found using year + title, since a DOI was not always
258 present. Duplicates were denoted in a separate file, then the authors manually confirmed and
260 Once all literature was coded, we then manually coded all dissemination venues (journal,
261 proceeding, book, etc.) for: 1) alignment to the disciplinary search terms and 2) review rigor of
262 the dissemination venue. Alignment of the field consisted of journals that are predominately
263 associated with the discipline, including adjacent journals or proceedings. For instance, venues
264 primarily aimed toward computer science or engineering were considered a low alignment for
265 LA. Further, review rigor was evaluated based on the reputation of the journal, including impact
266 scores (factors, cite score, etc.) and the review process. Coded values included: 1 = high
267 alignment and review rigor, 2 = combination of low/high or mid for both, and 3 = low alignment
268 and review rigor. These dissemination values (1-3) were then referenced with each article. The
269 full list of all venues and the tier scoring is provided in Supplemental Materials.
270 The resulting master dataset now provided a means to filter literature using:
13
274 The results and trends provided are delineated from different filtering mechanisms used.
275 The bulk of our commentary and detailed review of articles were from those with a score of 1 for
276 appropriateness of venue and review rigor, which also matched at least one disciplinary and AI
277 search term. These are referred to as tier 1 articles. We reviewed each filtered result and coded
278 them further across two additional criteria: degree of contribution and relevancy to the landscape
279 search terms. For the degree of contribution, we coded one of the following:
284 For relevancy, we denoted if an article seemed central to activities or knowledge related
285 to the landscape architecture discipline. There were instances where we recoded an article that
286 may have had a landscape-oriented search term but was completely irrelevant to AI, or vice
287 versa. Broader trends metrics include articles with a score of 2-3 for appropriateness of venue
288 and review rigor. These articles were not reviewed in depth and are referenced as tier 2 for the
289 purposes of this literature review. Tier 2 does not necessarily mean the contribution is of less
290 value, particularly if the article aligns primarily with other fields.
291 Further, we noted that articles with terms aligned with optimization were often not AI-
292 related, instead using the term to describe other quantitative or qualitative techniques. When used
14
294 optimize a space or design, typically with a set of environmental variables. Additionally, some
295 optimization articles focus on parametric modeling with mentions of optimization, but again
296 were clearly focused on the optimization of the model or design element without a coupled AI-
297 approach. We anticipate that several articles in tier 2 may be aligned with optimization, but not
298 with AI. After completing our search, we filtered all disciplinary results where optimization was
299 indicated without any other AI keyword. We then read through all titles to identify potential
300 articles that likely used AI techniques but may have not stated this explicitly or used a term that
301 may have been missed by our search terms. Any article we suspected may have used AI-coupled
302 approaches were flagged (roughly a dozen). Unfortunately, there precisely delineating the degree
303 to which AI is embedded across all optimization articles is nearly impossible. This is because
304 every article would need to be read in-depth (some of which are unavailable in full text) and
305 others with substantial interpretation (many have inadequate documentation of methods).
308 A total of 600 articles were identified that met both the landscape keyword requirement
309 and the AI keyword requirement. These were published across over 300 different venues ranging
310 from top-tier journals, conference proceedings, individual university publications and book
311 publishers. Of the venues, 70 were tier 1 (priority for review), 31 were tier 2, and 207 were tier 3
312 (with 90% of those receiving the lowest ranking due to applicability to discipline and review
313 rigor). Of the 600 articles that met the tier 1 filter, 31 were associated with keyword “Landscape
314 Architecture”, 29 with “Landscape Design” and 150 with “Landscape Planning”, with ten of
316 Upon reviewing all publications with keywords, the authors identified roughly one
317 hundred articles that meaningfully apply to the discipline and AI simultaneously and represent
318 the greater themes in the literature. The vast majority of these were application-based, with a
319 handful of others oriented towards theoretical or speculative discourse and a very select few
322 The recent popularity and growth in AI-related works has been substantial. Figure 1
323 illustrates the rates of publication for each of the three disciplinary keywords. The figure shows
324 publications from 2000 to the end of November 2022 for all literature that met both AI and
325 disciplinary terms, as well as those literature published in top tier venues. As the chart indicates,
326 publications with the term “landscape planning” emerged earlier and was consistently producing
327 more than the other terms. While this is true for top tier venues, the trend has shifted recently
328 with “landscape design” emerging with more publications when all non-disciplinary venues and
329 lower tier venues were considered. From top tier venues, “landscape architecture” and
330 “landscape design” seem to have a similar output frequency with the latter slightly higher.
331 Broadly, the data show continued growth in the topic, with an extremely fast rise in publications
333
334 Figure 1: Publication Counts of All Matching Keywords that met both discipline and AI keywords (2000-2022). Lines
335 show the results across tier 1 ranked dissemination publications (darker lines) and All tiers (lighter colors). X-axis is count of
336 publications.
337 Across all three terms, there were 12 publications before 2000, with the first in 1978 that
338 used a multiple hierarchical clustering method to help create a database of natural resources for
339 assessment and planning (Frondorf et al., 1978). The articles during this time period were
340 focused on database development, computer vision techniques and impact assessment. Some
341 were methodological (primarily within computer science venues) and other were applications
342 (primarily environmental journals). After 2000, there was a gradual increase in published works,
343 with the majority of works being published in the five years. In general, publications have
344 continued to rise across the umbrella landscape terms, with a significant drop during 2014-2016.
346 It should be noted that in our review, the terms landscape design and planning
347 incorporated very broad definitions, with landscape design incorporating projects of a range of
348 areas, while planning was typically oriented toward larger areas. It was also more apparent that
17
349 both landscape design and landscape planning were terms used in other disciplines when they
350 wanted to mention how their development or application of AI might align with other
351 disciplines. We noted that landscape architecture was not used as frequently in mentions, even
352 though the discipline does conduct both design and planning across scales.
353 We also identified author country affiliation across all publications. In total, we found
354 791 counts of country affiliations (meaning numerous articles were partnerships with scholars of
355 more than one country). Twelve countries were identified as having more than 10 affiliations
356 across all tiers, those countries are shown in Figure 2. Over one-third of the world’s countries,
357 with representation from all continents, have published something related to our search terms (67
358 countries). A full list of all affiliations is included in the Supplementary Documentation. The
359 rapid rise of AI-related publications across all tiers seems to emerge broadly across the world
360 with Chinese scholars leading this effort. It is important to recognize the substantial diversity of
361 projects and venues where authors publish – and the proportion of tier 1 to all tiers differs
362 substantially by country. Of the top 20 countries affiliated two thirds have about half of the
363 publications in a tier 1 venue, with over half of all countries publishing at least fifty percent of
364 articles in tier 1 venues. The overall trend indicates a growing interest in AI globally, which may
365 represent a likely increase in funding related to this work, the expertise necessary to
366 operationalize AI within the disciplines and partnerships being formed across disciplines.

371 (landscape architecture, design and planning). The analysis observed all 600 publications that
372 returned one or more matching disciplinary keywords and AI keywords (including “artificial
373 intelligence”). Since artificial intelligence is not a single technique, for the purposes of reporting
374 here, we eliminated any article that did not mention one of the subtypes of AI. There were 62
375 instances where only “artificial intelligence” was used as a keyword without any other subtypes
376 indicated as a keyword. Of the 538 articles remaining, there were 597 total keywords instances
377 where one of the AI keywords was used (indicating several articles with more than one AI
378 subtype keyword included). The distribution of the subfields is provided in Figure 3.
19
379
380 Figure 3: AI Subfield Distribution Counts of All Matching Keywords (discipline and AI)
381 Figure 3 demonstrates the vast proportion of works involve machine learning and
382 optimization, a pattern which mirrors that of other AEC industry disciplines (Abduljabbar et al.,
383 2019; Abioye et al., 2021). We investigated our data further, counting not only whether an article
384 mentioned a subfield, but also the total frequency of mentions of keywords. It is difficult to make
385 inferences about the meaning of the frequency of word use, but there is a slight increase in the
386 use of optimization and machine learning relative to the other subfields. This is likely because
387 most recent AI advancements have been within the realm of machine learning or optimization,
388 though this is quickly changing as fields natural language processing, robotics, and computer
390 As we acknowledged earlier in the Methods, the keyword search for optimization
392 optimization is a term that can be used qualitatively and parametrically where automated
393 learning is not central to the process but could be replaced with a stochastic or recursive
394 algorithm without learning. Subsequently, without having access to full text for all articles, we
395 conducted a review of titles and keywords manually to identify instances where optimization was
396 clearly indicating an AI technique. We found less than 5% of the optimization articles fit this
20
397 criterion, but even after reviewing articles we could access in full text, it was not always clear if
398 their methods were actually AI because of limited documentation. As such, we have visualized,
399 in Figure 4, the distribution of all non-optimization techniques to emphasize the role of three
400 primary techniques used in the field. Likewise, the distribution of these subtypes through the
401 years (starting in 2000) is provided in Figure 5. This distribution shows a trend in the subtypes
402 that are associated with publications, suggesting machine learning and computer vision
403 applications have grown almost tenfold, whereas the other subtypes are dropping in proportion.
404 This is likely due to the increasing availability of tools and training scholars are using, as well as
405 the a natural shift away from other techniques (Abdullah et al., 2006).

411 A close reading of the literature reveals significant themes in AI-LA knowledge work. These
412 themes range from a fine-grained focus on optimizing aesthetics or design process to using self-
413 improving algorithms for large-scale ecological modeling and forecasting, to analyzing policy
414 efficacy and public sentiment of open spaces through natural language processing. They are as
415 follows.
416 Design generation and evaluation. AI-driven applications for landscape design are proliferating
417 rapidly as landscape practitioners are learning how to extrapolate the technology to improve
418 design process and products. The review illustrates this occurring across a range of scales, from
419 Zhang et al.’s computer vision driven classification method for design details of Suzhou-style
420 private gardens (2021) to Naderi and Raman’s decision trees for pedestrian landscape designs
421 (Naderi & Raman, 2005), to a slew of academics and professionals’ use of machine learning for
422 generating concepts at the urban scale (Koma et al., 2017; Raman et al., 2022; Slager & De
423 Vries, 2013). There is also an emerging trend of AI applications for design evaluation, ranging
424 from improving machine perception of greenery (Suppakittpaisarn et al., 2022) to the use of
22
425 computer vision, machine learning, and optimization techniques for post-occupancy evaluation
426 of user experience and ecosystem services in public open spaces (Schlickman, 2020; Wael et al.,
427 2022; X. Wang, 2021; J. Yang et al., 2022). Outside of the results found in academic databases,
428 our web searches revealed an abundance of AI-powered design applications being introduced or
429 operated. Some are directly relevant to landscape design, such as Autodesk and Sidewalk Labs’
430 tools for urban landscape design (Harrouk, 2020; Hickman, 2020); while others are more general
431 but have potential use and impact for design. These include apps like NVIDIA Canvas, which
432 allows users to make rough, color-coded brush strokes and instantly iterate them into landscape
433 renderings of various styles (Tack, 2021) and AI-powered text-to-image generators like
434 Midjourney, DALL-E 2, or Stable Diffusion, which create conceptual renderings from user-
435 generated text strings (Brezar, 2022; Dreith, 2022; Monge, 2022).
436 Perhaps the most obvious pervasion of AI applications into landscape architecture and
437 design workflows will be through the already burgeoning computational design ecosystem. In
438 2017, Proving Ground introduced LunchboxML, one of the first published plugins for machine
439 learning in the Grasshopper/Rhino3D environment (Miller, 2017), and a slew of ML plugins
440 have proliferated since. The following year, Cantrell and Mekies assembled a group of leading
441 professionals and academics to conjecture the role of parametric and computational design in
442 landscape architecture in a series of essays (2018), some of which anticipated a prompt pervasion
443 of AI applications into design (Ervin, 2018). The review results combined with perusal of non-
444 academic sources suggest such anticipation to be accurate, and also suggest the need for a better
446 Ecological modeling. Computational ecology has been prolific in the AI literature, and the
447 field’s methods have begun to creep into modeling applications tooled for landscape design and
23
448 planning purposes. For instance, Zhang and Bowes trained ML models that outperformed typical
449 models in real-time predictions of groundwater table response to storm surge in Coastal Virginia
450 (2019), and in turn posited a more machine-driven landscape monitoring regime. Abdollahi et al.
451 (2022) devised a new optimization approach to modeling urban ecosystem service zones based
452 on landscape patterns. On the other side of the urban-rural transect, Benke et al. introduce a
453 sophisticated application of geovisual analytics (driven by agent-based modeling) to model the
454 movements of ruminants in the landscape using satellite tracking data. While possibly not central
455 to the discipline as of yet, the concept of using advanced modeling to predict patterns of grazing
456 animals over large landscapes could be useful to consider as part of a design process. This is
457 especially true for animals that may use intentionally-designed large areas. Taking the idea of
458 machine-driven management further, Goodwin et al. (2022) and van Strien and Grêt-Regamey
459 (2022) both introduce ML methods for classification of landscape typologies. Taken with the
460 other autonomous management methods, a provocative question arises of whether AI utilization
461 could foster a land management regime that is entirely automated from start to finish.
462 There are also significant AI developments in forest planning and management. Salient
463 examples from the review include techniques to optimize (here we cite AI-optimization) for
464 timber harvest (Eyvindson et al., 2018; W.-Y. Liu & Lin, 2015), land use modeling (Lin et al.,
465 2009), habitat-specific restoration (Westphal et al., 2007), measuring forest connectivity (Peng et
466 al., 2019; Shanthala Devi et al., 2013) and spatial design of forests (G. Liu et al., 2006); machine
467 learning applications for species distribution modeling (Alegria et al., 2021; Ngarega et al.,
468 2021); modeling and planning for effects of fire in the forest landscape (Miranda et al., 2020;
469 Stamou et al., 2016; Zema et al., 2020); and modeling complexities of varied forest landscapes
470 (Ask & Carlsson, 2000; Gärtner et al., 2008; Hummel & Cunningham, 2006). These works
24
471 represent only a sample of what has been done in Forestry—the discipline has been prolifically
472 producing optimization methods in recent decades (Kaya et al., 2016) and AI has creeped
473 significantly into urban forestry (César de Lima Araújo et al., 2021)—but are representative of
474 the research authors deemed relevant to landscape planning or design, whether in titles or
475 keywords.
476 Predictive analytics. Simulation and forecasting are another obvious anecdote for trending
477 methods in landscape and spatial planning, and the review gives evidence for it. Subjects cover
478 anything from using gaming technology, agent-based modeling (ABM) and AI to simulate
479 potential pedestrian and social life in urban spaces (Almahmood & Skov-Petersen, 2020) to
480 forecasting climate and emissions scenarios at the landscape scale (Bergier et al., 2019; Ngarega
481 et al., 2021), optimization for estimating green infrastructure potential (Dong et al., 2022), and
482 landscape simulations for improving predictive forest management (Hummel & Cunningham,
483 2006; Kampichler & Sierdsema, 2018; Stamou et al., 2016). While predictive analytics only had
484 a handful of results falling under the umbrella term of “landscape planning”, the fact that they
485 are among the most common methods in AI-driven urban planning, internet of things (IoT) or
486 Smart Cities conceptualizations (Souza et al., 2019) makes them very relevant to the landscape
487 disciplines, as many decisions and models will inevitably creep into the operational territory of a
489 Landscape policy evaluation. A number of studies utilized AI methods to model ecosystem
490 services. For instance, Groot et al. used evolutionary algorithms for generating planning and
491 design solutions for multi-functional landscapes (2018); Queiroz et al. used k-means clustering
492 to map and classify ecosystem services bundles (2015); while others modeled socio-ecological
493 determinants, associations, or natural capital stocks and flows associated with ecosystem services
25
494 (Lorilla et al., 2020, p.; Mouchet et al., 2014; Zank et al., 2016). Other projects utilized AI as
495 part of evaluating landscape policy outcomes (both potential and actual). These include
496 Berkhardt et al., who used machine learning to generate land use classifications from remote
497 sensing imagery in order to measure conformity to and impacts of water conservation measures;
498 Wang et al.’s Monte Carlo simulation technique to measure cooling and energy saving potentials
499 of shade trees and urban lawns in Phoenix (2016); clustering methods for prioritization of green
500 corridor development (Shapira et al., 2013); and development of machine learning tools for
502 Sentiment analysis and social media. Sentiment analysis (SA), or sentiment modeling, is a
503 burgeoning research area that uses text and image data mining and to understand public opinion
504 of issues, services, or social phenomena, among other things (L. Zhang & Liu, 2017). The
505 methodology has grown precipitously over the last decade and pervaded across a wide variety of
506 fields, mostly due to the abundance of user data generated in social media (Yue et al., 2019). The
507 landscape and urban design disciplines are included in this creep (C. Yang & Liu, 2022), and
508 review results suggest future growth as public engagement methods evolve among researchers
509 and practitioners. Much of the work to date centers around public green space satisfaction. Song
510 et al. utilized computer vision (including face and object detection models) to analyze and
511 annotate imagery captured from social media platforms to inventory and assess characteristics
512 such as temporal patterns of park use, social dynamics, activities, and demographics (2022).
513 Jahani et al. applied artificial intelligence techniques to identify the prevalence of bird sounds in
514 urban green spaces and their association with mental restoration (2021). Ghermandi et al.
515 extracted online geolocated photographs from social media platforms then used computer vision
516 cloud services to characterize human-open space interactions in urban green spaces (2022).
26
517 Wang et al. zoomed out to a regional scale as they employed machine learning techniques to
518 assess green space satisfaction of 50 parks in Beijing (2021). They also introduced a landscape-
519 feature lexicon to help improve granularity of landscape sentiment analysis. Other studies focus
520 on measuring sense of place in important cultural or touristic landscapes such as the Las Vegas
521 Strip, USA (Song et al., 2021) or Mt. Huangshan, China (Chai et al., 2021), or on simply
522 understanding discrepancies between policy measures and user experience using natural
524 Knowledge systems for AI-LA applications. Another less prolific but important grouping of
525 studies are theoretical or speculative pieces touching on the permeation of AI methods into
526 landscape practice and the need to formulate knowledge frameworks that help designers and
527 planners adapt to it. Zhang provides a historical sketch of cybernetic environments, positing that
528 landscape designers have previously had influence on their development and should reclaim that
529 influence to drive the future (2020). Cantrell et al. argue through synthesis of current
530 developments that AI’s fast-growing influence presents an epistemological crisis for landscape
531 architecture and that the profession may need to rethink its authorial role in solving wicked
532 problems of the day (2021). In accordance with this frame, Fernberg et al. suggest addressing the
533 crisis involves formalizing operational language into ontological frameworks for AI systems
534 (2021) and that there is a need to grow more systematic knowledge of AI in landscape
535 architecture. Exemplary efforts to do so include Tebyanian’s review and primer for machine
536 learning in urban landscape design (2020) and Ervin’s history and taxonomy of digital landscape
537 architecture, which gives historical context to computational developments and associated
538 progression in landscape architecture while providing commentary about terminology and
27
539 definitions—including one of the first references in the literature to the concept of ‘bionic’
541 5 Discussion
542 In carrying out the review process, the authors drew some distinct impressions of the
543 state of AI in landscape architecture. Broadly, sentiment toward AI within the field is growing
544 rapidly. This is depicted by the diversity of AI-based implementation across all publications, the
545 global distribution of work and likely the recognition of the importance of design from within
546 more computationally centric fields. Yet even amongst the most non-technical, discipline-
547 focused venues for landscape architecture, planning, and design, there appears to be an uptick in
548 publications. Further, the sophistication and implementation of AI methods may demonstrate the
549 increased training and access to techniques that are being afforded researchers, as well as
550 funding opportunities globally. Importantly, researchers within the discipline who are interested
551 in AI should become aware of the vast interest from other disciplines who want to engage in the
552 discipline, in particular being aware that much of the growth in the topic is associated with the
553 term “landscape design”. More broadly, we reflect on Fernberg and Chamberlain (2019) who ask
554 about the role technology specialists might play within the future of landscape architects. To
555 what extent will landscape architects (here we speak more broadly toward designers and planners
556 as well) develop and embrace AI taking agency on how it is implemented within the discipline,
557 or will technology designers from outside the discipline shape the discipline using AI?
558 It is important to underscore that the while scope of this review focuses on direct
559 relevance to the umbrella terms “landscape architecture”, “landscape design”, and “landscape
560 planning”, the breadth and depth of AI-related research increases significantly with the inclusion
561 of terms or activities that could feasibly fall under the umbrella of the landscape architecture
28
562 discipline but have greater relevance or recognitions in allied fields or disciplines. For example,
563 research advancements of automation in agriculture and ecology are longstanding, and now
564 converging to offer unique solutions to global food security problems. Researchers have seen
565 success in applications ranging from vegetation biomass and cover estimation in fire-damaged
566 landscapes (Anderson et al., 2018), measuring forest tree defoliation using smart-phone photos
567 (Kälin et al., 2019), or using image-based deep learning models for disease detection in
568 agriculture (Mohanty et al., 2016) to thermal mapping waterbodies, forest monitoring, and aerial
569 seeding using UAS (Amorós & Ledesma, n.d.; Hogan et al., 2017; Minařík & Langhammer,
570 2016; Novikov & Ersson, 2019; Sai et al., 2020; Vovchenko et al., 2020). Combining artificial
571 intelligence (AI) applications in agriculture with emergent methods in agroecology shows the
572 potential to address pressing problems in 21st century food systems such as climate change
573 uncertainty, optimizing data flows, or crop efficiency (Barbieri et al., 2018; Cherkauer et al.,
574 2018; Leippert et al., 2020). Most if not all of these applications have some relevance to
575 landscape architecture or landscape planning—as some designers work in agricultural contexts
576 or are interested in applications for ecological restoration in their site planning—but the subjects
577 of the studies in and of themselves may not be considered central to the practices, teachings, or
579 Another interesting area of convergence that may appear less obvious is in robotics.
580 While the literature search only returned one article on robotics in the landscape disciplines—
581 Westort and Shen’s exploration of robot-assisted, in-situ landscape gardening (2017)—the
582 authors see robotics as an emerging theme. The exponential growth of robotics in the AEC
583 industry as suggested by Abioye et al. (2021) and Emaminejad and Akhavian (2022), the man
584 established architectural robotics labs (International Map of Robots in the Creative Industry,
29
585 n.d.), and an uptick in landscape-oriented robotics projects from institutions such as Louisiana
586 State University and ETH Zurich (Harmon et al., 2022; Hurkxkens et al., 2020, 2022; Johns et
587 al., 2020)—projects not picked up in the literature search because of term mismatch—there is
588 clear evidence that this subfield of AI has potential for an outsized impact on the landscape
590 While a distinction between relevant AI research in agriculture or robotics and landscape
591 design is fairly intuitive, the line becomes thinner when considering fields like urban design and
592 urban planning, which overlap significantly with landscape disciplines in interests, theory, and
593 methods (Van Assche et al., 2013). For instance, there are a number of extensive and already
594 highly cited reviews of artificial intelligence in urban planning subjects such as land planning
595 dynamics (Wu & Silva, 2010), planning for smart cities and big data (Allam & Dhunny, 2019;
596 Yigitcanlar et al., 2020), transportation planning (Abduljabbar et al., 2019), and urban forestry
597 (César de Lima Araújo et al., 2021; Nitoslawski et al., 2019). All of these have direct relevance
598 to landscape design in urban contexts but would be otherwise unknown in a review that only
599 includes the keywords “landscape architecture,” “landscape design,” or “landscape plan”—
600 which could in turn mean hundreds of informative studies on landscape-relevant AI applications
602 Furthermore, the same dilemma applies to the more specialized terms of landscape
603 architecture. If, for example, a reader would rely on the current study which focuses more
604 broadly on the discipline, they would consider AI development to be overwhelmingly nascent
605 with just a few dozen relevant studies. But if they were to perform a search using “stormwater
606 management,” one of the specializations of which licensed landscape architects are required to
607 have some knowledge, they would find an abundance of well-established literature on AI
30
608 applications for stormwater plans (Imran et al., 2013). In the authors’ view, this exercise paints a
609 complicated picture wherein the vast majority of contributions to AI development relevant to
610 landscape architecture come from researchers and practitioners outside the discipline; a paradox
611 where AI-LA research and practice is at once established and emerging, quite possibly to the
612 ignorance of many in the profession in either sense. Such a notion suggests that practice-based
613 researchers should be aware that using only discipline-specific terminology in precedent research
614 could unintentionally blind them to relevant information if they are too parochial in keyword
615 usage. On the other hand, a more robust output of AI-LA research from within the discipline
616 could bolster the relevance of its lexicon and help to avoid constant borrowing and fitting of
617 knowledge from outside it. In other words, the knowledge domain unique to landscape
618 architecture could effectively build a new appendage that relates to AI and its use in practice and
619 scholarship.
620 Given these limitations, we suggest that future work can more comprehensively
621 illuminate the role of AI in landscape research and practice by expanding the scope of the
622 research and utilizing a broader but systematic lexicon of disciplinary terms. For example, a
623 future study could include a full-scale systematic literature review that takes the current work’s
624 AI search terms protocol and queries literature using established disciplinary frameworks such as
625 the Landscape Architecture Body of Knowledge (LABOK Task Force, 2004) or the core
626 landscape knowledge domains developed by Langley et al. (2018). Doing so could likely provide
627 a more encompassing panorama of AI-related work that includes the facets of the profession that
628 clearly fall under its purview but do not always carry the labels of “landscape architecture”,
629 “design”, or “planning”. Besides expanding the terminology, future AI-LA reviews or other
630 investigations should also seek to bridge the knowledge accessibility gap between academia and
31
631 practice. While the current work illustrates practice-driven AI research and applications as
632 published in the industry standard Landscape Architecture Magazine and white papers from a
633 handful of practice-based research labs, the question of how to appropriately (and systematically)
634 compile knowledge from industry and synthesize it with academic literature remains largely
635 unsolved. A protocol for addressing this problem will provide mechanisms for consistent and
636 defensible longitudinal research on AI’s transformations of the profession in coming decades.
637 As part of this special issue in Landscape Journal, we set out to explore how artificial
638 intelligence has and is influencing landscape architecture, design, and planning. In conducting
639 this review one of the more difficult decisions was selecting the bounds of a discipline, that is, by
640 definition, rather interdisciplinary. Those reading this article are likely to have read and most
641 certainly will read articles from a variety of different disciplines that relate or conduct research
642 on landscapes. In many contexts the definitions of architecture, design and planning within
643 landscape often blend, especially when referenced from outside the discipline. Ironically, in our
644 search we not only discovered the increase in AI-related publications within these fields of study
645 and practice, but a significant body of literature published in venues and by authors outside of
646 these disciplines that give mention to their potential contribution to one or more of these three
647 landscape terms. However, the wide range of different publication venues cataloged from our
648 search and ranking techniques makes it difficult to ascertain the role AI might play within the
649 discipline in the future. This is because most of the articles associated with the discipline come
650 from lower tier venues where stated relevance to practice and research are vague.
651 The question of what defines landscape architecture, or landscape design or landscape
652 planning is an ontological and socio-cultural question. In our section, “Terms” of Landscape
653 Architecture we provide some context for why we set out to identify these three terms and to
32
654 ascertain the contribution of AI within these narrower definitions of what these fields practice.
656 disciplines and that the rapid rise of this work has surged in the past few years. From within
657 landscape architecture the rise has only increased recently. For instance, in the 2022 issue of the
658 Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture, the authors identified several new publications that
659 applied artificial intelligence techniques, with some of those being direct applications and others
660 referencing the significance of the techniques (Barbarash et al., 2022; Fengjing et al., 2022;
661 Khalilnezhad, 2022; X. Liu & Tian, 2022; J. Yang et al., 2022).
662 One of the significant challenges of this research endeavor was identifying if and to what
663 extent AI is playing a role in practice and education. Most literature reviews, including our own,
664 often focus on peer-reviewed publications, or at a minimum, dissemination products that show
666 (LAM) and the LAF Case Studies repository, there are not any obvious centralized venues for
667 publishing practice-oriented work, at least in the US. While LAM has published AI-related
668 articles (Cantrell, Ellis, et al., 2017; Fernberg & Chamberlain, 2021; Petrich, 1986; Zeiger,
669 2019), these are limited in number and primarily contributions from academic scholars. We ask
670 whether or not this is an indication of the lack of AI-related work being conducted in practice or
671 if there is a knowledge and dissemination gap. As discussed in emerging themes, we are aware of
672 several efforts from landscape architecture practice involving AI applications, but these
673 contributions are not being included in searchable databases. Such a lack of compilation can
674 make identifying contributions from practice very difficult and limit the democratization of these
677 works from the fields identified that we see a conundrum. Does landscape architecture, design
678 and planning play a key role in proliferating or at least applying AI-related work? Are scholars
679 within the field publishing in other disciplinary journals and not giving credit to the contribution
680 to their field or is dissemination not taking place, or is there really a limited amount of work? In
681 any case, we argue that researchers and practitioners should consider including search terms that
682 relate to the broader landscape disciplines, while also including AI-related keywords in abstracts
683 and metadata associated with publications. This may help to raise awareness of the contributions
684 within the field and bring greater recognition to the application of these techniques to other
685 disciplines, as well as make this information more readily available to students, practice and
686 scholars. A specific example of this could be the use of the term “landscape design”.
687 Interestingly, it appears the overwhelming increase in publications across all venues is associated
688 with this term but come from venues outside the discipline. Further, in the articles we reviewed
689 that used this term, we noticed that it often serves as a catch-all that might be more appropriately
690 delineated as landscape architecture or landscape planning. Thus, in an effort to promote our own
691 disciplinary contribution toward AI, future publications may want to consider adding ”landscape
692 design” to keyword searchers where publications are AI centric. This may increase the likelihood
693 of knowledge sharing within and outside landscape centric disciplines. When considering the
694 general pulse of publications across all venues, the relative growth and access of AI-related
696 6 Conclusion
697 After reviewing hundreds of articles, websites, books, and proceedings, we believe our
699 1. Interest and contributions toward AI are growing steadily and significantly in the
701 2. Applications and discourse from all subfields of AI have grown exponentially over the
702 past three years. This, in our view, suggests the emergence of a new technological
704 3. Landscape researchers in all sectors (e.g. academia, practice, government) would be well
705 served to formalize, compile, and contribute to a clear AI-LA knowledge framework
706 and/or AI-LA standards of practice to ensure proper workforce preparedness (whether in
708 4. To promote AI knowledge sharing across all disciplines, more universally accepted terms
709 (e.g. landscape design), should be included in AI publications within the discipline.
710 5. The need for scholars and practitioners to improve the democratization of knowledge
711 sharing by ensuring publications are indexed and easily accessible (e.g. open-source)
714 speculatively, and critically, is increasing year over year in landscape architecture, design, and
715 planning, and will continue to do so. This literature review is the first attempt at providing a
716 formal epistemic baseline for said engagement and incite a more systematic approach to
717 compiling the knowledge it produces. As artificial intelligence systems continue to permeate
718 everyday landscape practice, the workforce will have to confront a number of adaptive
719 challenges. How and where do we integrate AI into existing design and planning processes? Do
720 those processes fundamentally change because of said integration? How will landscape
35
721 practitioners ensure that the AI systems mediating their workflows are producing socially and
722 environmentally equitable outcomes? We argue that such questions can only be answered if there
723 is a formal framework for understanding how AI has, does, and will affect the state of practice.
724 The review shows evidence that AI-LA knowledge is nascent even if rapidly growing, hence
725 current gaps in the literature could be reasonably identified or filled with a more systematic
726 method for measuring AI’s influence in the more detailed subsets of landscape disciplines,
727 especially one that bridges dissemination gaps between academia and professional practice. If
728 researchers, professionals, and educators act now to develop this protocol, it could serve as
729 leverage for landscape to take the lead in shaping a techno-vernacular of the future. If we
730 hesitate, we run the risk of causing unnecessary root shock to the profession because of failure to
731 get ahead of the next technological tipping point AI is pushing us towards.
