Description

Landscape architect, teacher and environmentalist Harry Turbott (1930-2016) was at the forefront of the first wave of environmental design. From the early 1960s, after returning from completing an MLA at Harvard, Harry Turbott played a key role in introducing these concepts to New Zealand. Now his enormous work and rich legacy can be truly celebrated for the first time. This 224-page hardcover book showcases his life and prolific works and is beautifully illustrated. Environmental design and landscape architecture are growing fields in New Zealand as people become more aware of the possibilities and benefits of sustainable development
