Eco-revelatory design is landscape architecture intended to reveal and interpret ecological phenomena processes and relationships.

Landscape architects construct nature. In designing landscapes, they shape and intervene in interactive geophysical, biological and cultural systems.

Landscape architects not only design landscape forms and functions, they design our experience. They direct our vision and our movement; they emphasize, they accentuate, they reveal. . . .

In these landscapes, both nature and how we see nature are dynamic. (text from exhibit and catalog)

The exhibit and catalog, Eco-Revelatory Design: Nature Constructed/Nature Revealed, were the culmination of the Eco-revelatory Design project. The exhibit opened at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1998 and subsequently traveled to the Chicago Botanic Garden, Iowa State University, the Boston Architectural Center, and the National building museum in Washington DC, where it closed in 2000. The exhibit featured fifteen landscape architecture projects intended to reveal and interpret ecosystem phenomena, processes and relationships. The catalog for the exhibit, a special issue of Landscape Journal, documented the projects in the exhibit and presented eight essays, each by a different author, each concerned with the works in the exhibit, their context, and their implications.
