Summary:

"A familiarity with the work of Bernard Lassus, the leading French landscape architect, is essential for anyone seriously interested in contemporary landscape experience and design. Now, with this first collection of his writings to be translated into English, the contributions of Lassus can finally be fully appreciated by a wider audience."--BOOK JACKET. "The essays in The Landscape Approach afford readers a look into some of Lassus's most important projects - the Butterfly Bridge at Istres, the highway rest area at Nimes-Caissargues, the Park of Duisburg-Nord, the Garden of Returns for the Corderie Royale at Rochefort, and the Tuileries in Paris - and furnish provocative insight into Lassus's unique bonding of theory and practice."--Jacket.
