Abstract
All arts can serve as an inspiration of innovation ideas for landscape architectural design as well as other built environmental design disciplines. In 1960s, environmental art originated with aiming to rebel against the art gallery or museum by creating innovative art using natural elements setting on an outdoor location. The art is taken in various forms such as large sculptural artworks and, also, the installation art for a specific site, etc. Several artist scholars such as Rosalind Krauss (1979) and Spyros Papapetros & Julian Rose (2014) marked that there are no specific principles or general agreement or specific theory in terms of the approaches to exploring landscapes entangled with the art. However, within broad terrain of practice of the environmental art, this research attempted to provide core creative thoughts applied to the art, which can be divided into 6 themes including 1) Modernism 2) Postmodernism, 3) Genius loci or spirit of place, 4) concepts of eighteenth-century aesthetics, 5) environmentalism and 6) passage of time. Accordingly, the study explores possibilities in convergences in design expression between landscape architecture and environmental art. Summarization of the study includes with current approach of the environmental art.
