The problems and dynamic changes in the environment demand new theories and methods. This paper explores general models of the design process to integrate architecture with landscape planning and design, by applying the theory of “Systems Thinking” (By Ludwig von Bertalanffy and Ervin Laszlo) to environmental design. According to “Systems Thinking,” elaborating principles and models applying to “systems” provides an interdisciplinary approach to integration between systems. Thus, discovering general models is the key issue for developing an integrative approach. Following the geodesign concepts, the models work from large scale to small scales, from planning to design, feedback is in every step. Architecture and landscape design share common principles, particularly in the design process; thus general models would integrate the two fields. Integration would be accomplished in one mind. The two general models have been tested in design studio education for over a decade, providing a valid integrative process with the framework for practice in design studios and guiding students with systematic thinking. Furthermore, this paper proposes a new synthesis major, “Architectural and Landscape Design”, that would be beneficial for creating a sustainable built environment.
