Architecture Now! Landscapes by Jodido Philip

ISBN: 9783836532136 PUBLISHER: New Holland FORMAT: Flexiback PAGES: 416 PUBLICATION DATE: 2012

DESCRIPTION: One of the hottest areas of contemporary design is landscape architecture. No matter what the architectural style of the moment, the green areas around houses, stadiums or corporate headquarters have taken on a considerable importance, all the more so with the emphasis on ecology and green design. This book calls on the work of the top designers of the moment, from Ken Smith, author of the Museum of Modern Arts rooftop garden, to West 8 from Rotterdam, but also on architects ranging from Steven Holl to Tadao Ando, who have long been fascinated by the environments of their buildings. There arenew names like the Lebanese landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic and well-known ones like Renzo Piano. There are established firms, like the Wirtz family from Belgium or Gustafson Porter from he United States, and young creators like Sophie Agata Ambroise from Lugano. The difference between architecture and landscape architecture is not always easy to define, but this new book opens the doors and windows of todays architecture into the gardens of tomorrow.
