Editorial Reviews

Theory is proposed and dissected in this collection of writings on landscape by European academics and thinkers. "Topology" is designated as the guiding theme, but it's not restrictive, and authors delve into "The Relationship Bewteen Plants and Landscape Architectural Design," "Landscape and Modernity," and "The Sensuality of the Engineer." Dense in spots, this book is for readers who want to think about and mull over big ideas on landscape.
