Résumé:

"Design approaches and practice in landscape architecture are the focus of this book, complemented by an analysis of the theoretical aspects of the subject. Perceptive portraits of studios from many regions throughout the USA - with some of their work extending to Europe or Japan - cover the wide range of contemporary landscape design."--Jacket.
