Opening spaces : design as landscape architecture /
""What does the landscape architect actually do as a design?"" The authors investigate this seemingly simple question: How are locations and spaces created in the open air, how are paths routed and boundaries set, how are hard and soft materials used? Drawing on practical and the...
