Landscape Transformed
No Customer Reviews
Landscape transformed examines the condition of the modern landscape. In his introduction, Michael Spens claims that 'for too long we have been obsessed with historical landscape and the conservation of heritage at the expense of focusing on the condition of twenty-first century landscape'. This book aims to stimulate interest and offers a wholly new way of perceiving landscape design. Presented here is an international collection of recent projects which challenge old perceptions and give good cause for confidence in the future of landscape design. Also included are two important historical analyses dealing with future approaches to historic landscapes and gardens. Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe provides two important contributions - his concept sketches for his latest project, in conjunction with John and Valerie Winter for the Walsall Civic Centre, and the book's concluding statement. Other notable contributors include James Corner, Simon Rycroft, John Phibbs, Hans Dieter Schaal and Michael Spens, with projects by Peter Latz, Peter Walker, Will Alsop and Edward Cullinan.
