Features: This book studies landscape design works in Australia since the 1960s. It tells how contemporary Australian landscape designers listen attentively to the language of landscapes and design new landscapes accordingly. These landscape designs reflect a "new dialogue" between land and people, from coastal areas to inland regions, from cities to rural areas. They not only showcase the ingenuity of the designers but also demonstrate the importance of creating landscapes with local characteristics. Each of these works has its own story and meaning, which are fully displayed in the "dialogue," allowing us to understand Australia and the lives of contemporary Australians.
