本书收录了世界著名园林景观设计师的作品，由五十个设计工作室来提供作品，通过文字、图片来阐述每个景观项目的设计理念，一创作新的生态和景观的有机集合。
A fresh and highly informed overview of work by today's leading landscape architects from around the world.
The
urgency of global climate change has made the early twenty-first
century one of the most productive periods in landscape and garden
design. Clients—corporate, civic, and private—are committed to the
creation of innovative outdoor spaces.
Curated by one of the
world’s leading critics of contemporary landscape design, this
collection profiles work by fifty design studios through texts,
up-to-date projects, easy-to-read plans, and photographs. The practices
have been chosen for their innovation and their unique contribution to
current debates in landscape and garden design. The selection spans
well-established names, such as Patrick Blanc (France), Fernando
Caruncho (Spain), Dan Pearson (UK), and Stephen Stimson (US) to smaller,
lesser-known studios, such as Ossart & Maurières (France), Wette
und Kunecke (Germany), and Landscape India (India).
Five
essays identify and explain the prevailing preoccupations and practices
of today’s designers with themes that range from the recent predilection
for creating new landforms to the trend towards eco- expediency. 500
