Land+Living: Design With Nature

Books — January 8, 2005 Posted by James

A balanced and self-renewing environment

"With a distinct emphasis on human cooperation and biological partnership in design, the author explores the relationship between the built environment and nature to illustrate how both can be used to their full potential without being detrimental or destructive to each other. Provides a combination of scientific insight and constructive design, and shows how to employ what nature offers to the fullest extent without imposing limitations or design constraints to create a balanced and self-renewing environment."

a must have

Yeah.. this one is a classic and i would say it belongs in any personal collection, especially an urban planner/designer/landscape architect. the best follow up piece to this book is anne spirn's _the granite garden_. spirn worked for mcharg for 5 years before she wrote that one.
