• This chapter discusses the potentials of integrating an archive of landscape architecture into landscape teaching and research. Landscape architecture is a hugely complex profession to teach and learn. Teaching and learning is about changing the student's conceptions of the world, which correlates with Dianne Harris's understanding of recent landscape history as a history of landscapes with multiple spatial, social, and process-related contexts. In the field of landscape architecture both teaching and research deal with designed landscapes and their historic record and importance. Classes at different levels focus on one or the other item in accordance with the students' experience in and understanding of landscape architecture and history. Even for research-led teaching strategies, an archive provides thorough information on projects and landscape architects when preparing field trips, design courses, or lectures on landscape architecture and history. The methodological strategy shifts from being teacher-focused to student-focused for a course on historic landscape preservation and management.
