Landscape Information Modeling (LIM): a framework for responsive landscape design
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Responsive landscape projects use information modeling to design dynamic urban environments, where the built environment continuously interacts with the natural landscape. This article explores the theoretical dimension of Landscape Information Modeling (LIM) through a systematic review of established references and recent scientific productions. The advancement of information technologies demands new paradigms in urban planning, particularly in landscape approaches. The adopted methodology encompasses a systematic review of articles published until 2024, focusing on the period from 2000 to 2024, identified 1,647 studies, from which 15 were selected for detailed analysis. The research discusses the potentialities and limitations of LIM in practice, highlighting its innovation compared to traditional methodologies. As a result, a framework for applying LIM in landscape design is proposed, demonstrating its contributions to urban planning. This study aims to consolidate the concept as a theoretical reference and contribute to the enhancement of contemporary landscape planning and design practices.
