I like to see what landscape architects are up to and there were quite a few interesting works exhibited in the pages of this book. It includes the work of 60 architects from around the world. However I felt as if the images often left me with more questions than answers or understanding. It would have been good to see more detail, or more close up images.
Great premise for highlighting innovative and interesting new landscape architecture. A one page overview and critique of an established LA,like martin knuijt of utreacht, of OKRA studio. He has gigs like Athens city center, cutty sark gardens in London, connecting bridge and structures at holstebro Denmark. And so knuijt picks new LA, rondal rietveld of Amsterdam as a very interesting and new LA. Rietveld is rietveld architecture-art-affordances and he gets a one page write up and full page full color examples of his work, like bunker 599 in Netherlands and generating dune scapes at Ijmuiden Netherlands http://www.raaaf.nl/en/projects/105_g...
