Reinventing Outdoor Space
"Landscape architecture today is one of the most active and revolutionary areas of design. With environmental awareness at an all-time high, landscape designers are reshaping our surroundings, from small-scale private gardens to large-scale public squares. Drawing on a broad palette of ideas and concepts, and presenting entirely new ways of seeing, interpreting, and designing a "landscape," the book is organized into seven themes that comprise today's most important issues and techniques: light and color, movement, order and objects, interaction, new contexts, urban interventions, and narrative. Each chapter is illustrated with works by such internationally known designers and architects as Fernando Caruncho, Adriaan Geuze, Janis Hall, Reiser + Umemoto, Peter Walker, and Makoto Sei Watanabe."Link: Barnes & Noble
