More Groundswell


"Landscape architecture is back"
Photo courtesy of the Estate of Kazuaki HosokawaSlate 's architecture critic, Witold Rybczynski, reviews MoMA's Groundswell exhibit with a slide-show essay. Bookending the review, Mr. Rybcynski provides some historical perspective of landscape design, and laments the lack of a "landscape approach to rebuilding" the World Trade Center site.

And we've added LOTS of images of our own for your browsing pleasure (thanks to MoMA's Press Office). Lots of images means waiting for them to download... please be patient, won't you?

Enjoy.

I can't believe it was possible. I write from Argentina, we have thousands of places like Duisburg former industry towns closed, but, they are still useless. How many time took to build the Duisburg-nord landscape? how much it costs? nobody destroy it? how is the annual cost of keep it working and clean? who pays and how? how many people use it? is there any other town that did the same?

Thanks

PS

we have a natural reserve built naturally, and 1 or 2 times for year is under fire, because estate companies pay people to start fires and destroy the place to get the land at cheap prices
