40 Landscapes

Rockport, 2003. Good secondhand condition.
This title brings together 40 landscapes designed by leading landscape architects. From a country meadow in Massachusetts to a manor farm in Wiltshire to a Spanish tropical garden in Southern Florida, full-colour photographs beckon us to take a walk through and enjoy the view. Artists' sketches and accompanying text explain how each artist resolved a range of design challenges: harmoniously integrating pools and tennis courts; selecting the right materials for a particular climate; creating a design that maintains a place's sense of history and more.
