Summary:

Landforms are a fast-developing art form that enjoy a wide following today, because of their multiple uses and their enveloping beauty. As formal landscapes that often arise from necessity, recycling a coal site for human use or making new use of excess earth, they are a pleasure to walk over and through. In this collection of his recent work, Charles Jencks explains his particular approach to the landform.
