Investigating different descriptions of design has been interesting. I found it quite difficult to find specific designers/Landscape Architects whose designs can be attached to different categories. interestingly, two of the examples were memorials...
Metaphor: Maya Lin (architect!) Vietnam Memorial, Washington
Symbolism: Peter Eisenmen Berlin Jewish Memorial
Kathryn Gustafson Garden of Imagination
Archetypes: Martha Schwarz Jeju Dream Tower Island, Korea
Narrative: Adrian Geuze Yongsan National Park, Seoul, Korea
Geometric: Lawrence Halprin Freeway Park, Seattle
Allegory: Mikyoung Kim Crown Sky Garden, Chicago, USA
