Popis:	Students in a Landscape Architecture Design 1 course (N = 25) at a research university in the southern US developed design solutions implementing geologic time for an informal education site. Those students who employed abstract metaphors for their designs (n = 8) were more successful than students who proceeded with a linear design construct. Pre- and posttest assessments using the Petrified Wood Survey and student-constructed timelines suggested that 1) 75 % geoscience content knowledge is needed for successful design, and 2) relative understanding of Earth events and the barrenness of early Earth ' s landscape is also prerequisite for successful design implementation. Most revealing of students ' cognitive processes were the concept statements and concept maps produced during the project. The concept statement forced students to address the project ' s requirements, take a position with their concept development of abstract metaphorical representation, and proceed with a final design solution. It appea...
