Contemporary landscape architecture is progressing towards an appropriate and independent language of its own. Drawing on the potentials of art and architecture, the ever changing relationship between man and nature is given new expression. Lavishly illustrated and with enlightening texts, this publication presents works and projects by artists such as Dani Karavan and Ian Hamilton Finlay as well as landscape designers including Adriaan Geuze, Martha Schwartz, Bernard Lassus and many others.
