Description
This book poses important philosophical questions about the aims, values and purposes of landscape architecture. The editors, highly regarded in their field, have drawn together a distinguished team of writers who provide unique individual perspectives on contemporary themes from a wide base of knowledge. Altogether, this new international study raises awareness of the landscape and encourages innovative ways of thinking about quality in design.
Reviews'An ideal starting point for an understanding of the contemporary debates about the role which public landscapes now play in people's lives ... the photographs are very helpful, and give a flavour of contemporary design and masterplanning issues.' -Green Places
