Thesis (M.L.A.)--University of Manitoba (Canada), 2008.

As a graduate student undertaking a degree in Landscape Architecture, the author required a research methodology that accommodated the multidisciplinary nature of landscape architectural practice in her research process. Employing a post-modern qualitative research design, this project strives to suspend our avoidance of the realities of death and dying and to open our minds to the value of garden in response to the needs of people in the hospice context. The site and its context are contemplated through multiple cultural texts and imagery. According to Husserl, any project designed to explain or control the natural world properly begins within the realm of one's own experience of the phenomenon under study. This helps to legitimize the subjective experience of the world as lived and experienced (Husserl, 1999).

520 $a As a graduate student undertaking a degree in Landscape Architecture, the author required a research methodology that accommodated the multidisciplinary nature of landscape architectural practice in her research process. Employing a post-modern qualitative research design, this project strives to suspend our avoidance of the realities of death and dying and to open our minds to the value of garden in response to the needs of people in the hospice context. The site and its context are contemplated through multiple cultural texts and imagery. According to Husserl, any project designed to explain or control the natural world properly begins within the realm of one's own experience of the phenomenon under study. This helps to legitimize the subjective experience of the world as lived and experienced (Husserl, 1999).
520 $a One of the primary treatises of qualitative research is the rejection of the idea that researchers are separate from the phenomena they are studying, therefore, in this spirit, an autoethnographic technique is used throughout the document. Autoethnography is a form of narrative that seeks to bridge the gap between self and other, revealing personal experience, opening a space for dialogue.
520 $a The inquiry is grounded in an exploration of the design of a therapeutic hospice garden. The history of hospice, healing garden and death are explored in this context. A variety of garden forms is considered and their usefulness in the healing garden examined. This qualitative inquiry concludes with a visual exploration of landscape design elements for the Foothills Country Hospice.
