Summary:

"Landscape architecture today is one of the most active and revolutionary areas of design. With environmental awareness at an all-time high, landscape designers are reshaping man-made surroundings, from small-scale private gardens to large-scale public spaces." "Drawing on a broad palette of ideas and concepts, and presenting entirely new ways of seeing, interpreting and designing a "landscape," the book is organized into seven themes that comprise today's most important issues and techniques: light and color, movement, order and objects, interaction, new contexts, urban interventions and narrative. Each chapter is illustrated with works by such internationally known designers and architects as Fernando Caruncho, Adriaan Geuze, Janis Hall, Reiser + Umemoto, Peter Walker and Makoto Sei Watanabe." "A comprehensive and challenging evaluation of the present and a compendium of ideas for the future, Radical Landscapes suggests an unexpected variety of ways in which we might interact dynamically and in harmony with the great outdoors."--Jacket.
