If by ‘cultural landscape’ you mean context-sesnitive design, then yes, I do know what it is about.

I think cultural landscapes are landscapes which identify someting specific and unique abou a given culture and its people. It’s important to take culture into account when designing public space because you want the spece to be meaningful to the largest number of users. People protect things that carry meaning for them, so it is important to imbue some cultural meaning into design of public space so that the space will remain safe, and well-kept.

I hope this answers your question or invokes some further observation.

Thanks for the question..

A portion of my thesis deals with cultural landscapes. If you would like some excellent reading material about the subject you should look into Cultural Landscapes by Richard Longstreth, Preserving Cultural Landscapes in America by Alnen & Melnick, and Landscape Interfaces by Hannes Palang and Gary Fry.

Another resource that deals with cultural landscapes and time is What Time is This Place? by Kevin Lynch

Hope these help.
