Alright. I'm biased. I took a class in landscape architecture and I hated it.

But this reader is a collection of some of the most poorly written articles I have ever read. Most of articles I was assigned to read were either way too vague or so ambiguous that I couldn't take a single thing away from it. Unless you are seriously into landscape architecture, there is no reason to buy this book.

I have never been so happy to get rid of a book.

Not an easy read. I could only read through a couple essays and passages before I had to turn it in. The pieces of the book provokes thoughts about the way space is viewed. Some of the information is outdated, but it's still worth the read.

This overview is great if a little dated, watch out for typos!
