First must note this was written by Thaisa Way - the authors listed reflect GGNs leadership, responsible for producing the source material but not necessarily the content of this book.
That said, (and this is a completely biased review) but this is a beautiful collection of important and elegant landscape architecture . Great as eye candy, but absolutely worth reading about the process, intent and meaning of each of these works.

My review is biased because Rodrigo is a friend of mine and I admire his work. It was a pleasure to read more about it.
