Summary:
Today, landscape architecture often stands at the centre of attention – perhaps more frequently than is desirable for its own sake? Designing with “nature”, whether in urban spaces or in company grounds, at horticultural shows or in “temporary gardens” generates an attractive and immediate emotional impact. It is not just architects and artists who incorporate landscape features in their designs today, but also local authorities and well-known companies wishing to promote an image of ecological responsibility combined with innovative design. The result is a kind of landscape-based event culture with popular appeal. “Event Landscape?” describes the current state of this wide-sweeping development. A wide array of recent landscape designs with detailed information are presented, revealing how landscape architecture can play a part in solving major issues of public space: the sustainable renewal of towns, the transformation of farmland into new cultural landscapes, the role of historic gardens and parks.

Summary:
"Artscapes" attempts to show how the artificial landscape produced by artists in collaboration with architects and landscape architects can alter the nature of place, transforming it into a location capable of establishing a more intense dialogue with the user. The sensibility of these artists selects, shapes and colonises the landscape in the reformulation of an ecological consciousness that shifts our attention of its constituent objects towards an awareness and understanding of emerging relationships.
