About the book

These essays make a unique contribution to the documentation of twentieth century landscape architecture. They address key moments in history that have sometimes been overlooked or forgotten, emerging moments, potential moments of leverage. The essays present contemporary examples in architecture, landscape architecture and garden design that offer new models. Relating Architecture to Landscape will challenge accepted assumptions about the nature of landscape architecture. Landscape architects and garden designers share with architects a range of design concerns and concepts such as scale, geometry, space, texture, perspective, light, sustainability, ecology and social usefulness. This collection of essays raises the question of what, if anything, remains specific to architecture or to landscape architecture.
