Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. The 40 projects encompassed by this text reflect the importance of landscape design in contemporary architecture and planning. They range from constructions made almost entirely from hard materials for corporate clients, to highly individual private gardens, often created with traditional planting. Some have been selected as representative of the achievements since the 1970s-such as Isamnu Noguchi's California Scenario-while others demand attention because of their innovative qualities-like Bernard Tshumi's extensive development of the Parc de la Villette in Paris. During the last 20 years, due partly to a rise in environmental concerns, landscape design has attracted increasing attention. Case studies here--ranging from prestigious business centers, city squares and museums to parks for recreation and private gardens--are fully illustrated with photographs, plans, and models, making this volume essential reading for all architects specializing in landscape design. 291 illustrations, 106 in color. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Minor stain on inside cover.
