  • Zusatztext
    • Modern Landscape features over 30 international projects, including schemes by both architects and landscape architects, often working in collaboration. Following an in-depth introduction, the book is arranged in four thematic sections of extensively illustrated case studies, each of which deals with a different aspect of landscape design - Parkland, Architecture as Landscape, Garden Landscapes and Urban Interventions - to identify it in the light of historical and contemporary precedents.
  • Kurztext
    • As the 21st century proceeds, there is a growing interest in landscape design as a professional field of study. This volume is an examination of projects and includes schemes by both architects and landscape architects. Designers such as Martha Schwartz and Hans Hollein received attention.
