City as Landscape

TRAMA

This clear book on the practical application of theories of landscape and planning presents a collection of essays, arranged thematically, in which the author takes a critical look at new approaches to current problems in both landscape/environmental design and urban planning. He shows how design in these areas is changing - or should change - in response to the influence of Postmodern ideas from cultural theory.

NOTE EDITORE

In twenty essays, this book covers aspects of planning, architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, park and garden design. Their approach, described as post-postmodern, is a challenge to the 'anything goes' eclecticism of the merely postmodern.
