Futurescapes
Book (italiano):
The urgency of global climate change has made the early twenty-first century one of the most productive periods in landscape and garden design. Clients—corporate, civic, and private—are committed to the creation of innovative outdoor spaces.<br /><br />Curated by one of the world's leading critics of contemporary landscape design, this collection profiles work by fifty design studios through texts, up-to-date projects, easy-to-read plans, and photographs. The practices have been chosen for their innovation and their unique contribution to current debates in landscape and garden design. The selection spans well-established names, such as Patrick Blanc (France), Fernando Caruncho (Spain), Dan Pearson (UK), and Stephen Stimson (US) to smaller, lesser-known studios, such as Ossart & Maurie`res (France), Wette und Kunecke (Germany), and Landscape India (India).<br /><br />Five essays identify and explain the prevailing preoccupations and practices of today's designers with themes that range from the recent predilection for creating new landforms to the trend towards eco- expediency.
