Features: This book presents a way to explore the original intent of landscapes. Its purpose is to transform personal concepts into reality. It is this concept that drives landscape architects to transform vacant land, abandoned sites, or undeveloped areas around cities into various beautiful landscapes. This book compiles landscape works of various styles. These works not only showcase their unique and distinct personalities but also reveal their common characteristics and development trends. Therefore, this book not only introduces Monika Gora’s dynamic and wide-ranging landscape architecture, which covers diverse styles, but also features landscape architectural projects designed by Hanna/Olin that cleverly integrate with urban layouts and public spaces. It also presents the distinctive, unconventional, and avant-garde landscape architecture works of other landscape architects, such as Ian Hamilton Finlay’s poetic creations. This book allows readers to see works of completely different styles at the same time. Jacque’s Simon excels in using means and speeds that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, leveraging topographical concepts and plant arrangements to design landscape architecture. In short, he places his works in urban buildings with a natural and effortless approach. Preben Skaarup, on the other hand, fully applies the principles of stereometry in his design for the Fyn Television Center Building. This book categorically compiles nearly 19 landscape masters’ recent outstanding landscape works from all over the world, introducing their creative philosophies.
