Over the past five years, she has photographed the various facets of many urban parks – from users, vegetation and flowers, and park features, to leisure activities and functions, and even detrimental aspects such as littering and vandalism. Located in popular parks in Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Berlin, Antwerp, Barcelona, Vienna, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, and New York, it approaches the subject from a familiar perspective, yet also asks for a deeper consideration of why we take such green areas for granted.

Semper's landmark survey of the motives giving rise to the technical arts (textiles, ceramics, carpentry, masonry) explores the symbolic and material preconditions of style. An extended inquiry into the inner principles of artistic form, this work altered the intellectual field for aesthetics and art history and stands as a vital document in the construction of modern architectural theory. Translated by Harry Francis Mallgrave and Michael Robinson, with an introduction by Harry Francis Mallgrave.
