Résumé : Landscape as a planning activity, raises the question of its design process. Spatial design concerns also architecture, and has moreover been studied by architecturology, a french design theory. Can this research benefit landscape studies? This article aims to test the relevance of a crossover between these two arts: architecture and landscape. The purpose is to enable a scientific study of creative processes that analyses the common features detached from the substantial evidence. First, we will explore the applicability of the architecturological theory to other, non-architectural objects. Second, we pursue an empirical architecturological interpretation of three landscape situations: the competition for the park of La Villette in 1982, the traditional Chinese garden of Suzhou and the Clichy-Batignolles district organised around the Martin Luther-King park. This work allows to identify similarities and differences between these landscape designs and thus supports the relevance of a landscape architecturology. Finally, to better understand the role of cultural context in design, a crossover with Augustin Berque’s mesology is carried out. Thus, architecturology enables an abstract analysis of landscape design among others possible.
