Description

The core of landscape architecture has witnessed tremendous change over the past decade. Concerns over sea-level rises, alternative modes of transit, water quality and density are but a few of the issues that landscape architects address in their work on a daily basis. With a world population approaching seven billion people, the pressure to address these issues through the creation of unique open space systems as it is about nature, economics, sustainability, social systems, and aesthetics. Functioning as a monograph of SWA Group's most significant recent work, this collection details the firm's unique approach in more than sixty projects based around the world. The book presents the work in four categories: Urban Regeneration, Creative Campus, Lifestyle, and Adaptive Strategies. - from Amzon
