Description
Despite its importance to urban planning and the environment, landscape design has often played a subsidiary role to architecture but, now, new social sensitivities, advances in materials, mapping techniques, digital technologies and construction methods are driving landscape design and producing a new wave of work around the world. Packed with inspiration and new ideas for a world of more beautifully designed outdoors, Digital Landscape Architecture Now presents work by the 50 most innovative practices across the globe, from dedicated landscape designers to architects turning their hand to the horizontal.
