Résumé:

The American office GEO has been redefining landscape architecture for nearly 15 years. This exceptional book is focused on projects in their hometown Miami. Incorporated in 2005, and led by Laurinda Spear and Margarita Blanco, two women steeped in architecture, has elevated the conversation about the important role landscape architecture plays and the contributions it can make in the face of climate change and sea level rise. Surrounding nature, plants and landscapes are the starting points for the spectacular green contribution to a very densely populated city. There is no other place in the world where so much knowledge comes together on vertical green and elevation of landscapes. This book, designed by Irma Boom Office (Irma Boom and Emma Gregoline), shows all new developments in every detail and makes it a standard for everyone who feels connected to those who wants more attention to be paid to open and green, public urban spaces.
