This fundamental work provides an overview of the whole
creative realm of contemporary landscape architecture.
Every aspect of the design and production of these public
and private spaces is thematized and elucidated. These
spaces encompass a huge variety, stretching from classic
garden design and golf courses to greened façades, from
guerilla gardening and cemeteries to roundabouts. The approximately three dozen chapters chart the various
tasks and challenges in comprehensive introductions.
Around 250 vividly illustrated case studies from around
the world offer solutions and suggestions in the design
process. Whether conservative in style and requiring little
explanation, or striking, even ostentatious, these projects
are always inventive, unique and compelling - and always
seeking to redefine the relationship between human be - ings and the natural world.
