Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Enge Kooperationen mit Architekten eingehen, Traditionen der eigenen Disziplin sehen und fortsetzen, Freiräume temporär oder nachhaltig gestalten, die Krise der Künstlichkeit überwinden - die Anforderungen an heutige Landschaftsarchitektur erhalten immer komplexere Dimensionen. Auf welche Weise können Gebäude und Freiraum entwurflich integriert werden? Welche Potenziale ergibt das Zusammenwirken von Landschaftsplanung und Ingenieurskunst? Was folgt, nachdem Design zur Künstlichkeit gerann? An zahlreichen aktuellen landschaftlichen, städtischen und privaten Planungen sowie anhand von thematischen Essays renommierter Autoren (u.a. Karl Ganser, Thies Schröder, Christian Welzbacher) zeigt das attraktive Buch, welche wegweisenden Antworten die landschaftsarchitektonischen Gestaltungen der Gegenwart auf zentrale Fragestellungen geben.

Cooperating closely with architects, observing and continuing the discipline s traditions, designing open spaces temporarily or for the long term, overcoming the crisis of artificiality - the challenges to contemporary landscape architecture are taking on increasingly complex dimensions. How can buildings and open space be integrated by means of design? What potential results from the interaction of landscape planning and the art of engineering? What are the consequences of design chasing after artificiality? Using examples from numerous contemporary landscape, urban, and private propects and in thematic essays by renowned authors (e.g., Karl Ganser, Thies Schröder, Christian Welzbacher), this attractive book reveals the pioneering responses that contemporary landscape architects offer to such central questions.
