Landscape Design Today

Landscaped spaces, those oases of green in the midst of urban saturation, respond to a human thirst for something natural, something green. Paradoxically these "natural" spaces have been meticulously sculpted. This book is an overview of the latest trends in landscape design with a number of particularly outstanding and successful projects demonstrating a wide variety of approaches to the art of "humanising" nature. All phases, from planning to "execution" are thoroughly covered. Included are ground plans, construction materials, details of project execution and hundreds of full-colour photographs - all of which make this a useful reference on landscape design.
