Features: In November 1996, the 11th Landscape Design Conference was held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Gathered there were 300 artists, architects, landscape designers, urban designers, environmental graphic designers, university professors, sponsors, photographers, and journalists from around the world to examine and discuss the state of landscape art and design in the 20th century. This book is a summary of the conference's exploration of the current state of contemporary landscape art. It introduces the works of numerous designers, primarily from Western countries, reflecting the design trends and standards of international landscape design in the 1990s. The book also includes special articles by renowned landscape theorists and critics such as Elizabeth K. Melvin and James Corner.
