9 Plus 1 Young Dutch Architects - Landscape (Paperback)

Landscape surveys the very latest developments in contemporary landscape architecture in the Netherlands. With the blurring of the distinction between city and landscape, landscape architecture's position within spatial planning is gaining in stature, and hybrid forms are emerging that bring urban functions into contact with ecological notions. With varied assignments, ranging from large-scale regional plans to small, private gardens, the new generation of landscape architects is exploring the entire spectrum of the urban field, as seen, for example, in attempts to embed modern transport infrastructure into the landscape. With exhaustive documentation made by the landscape architects themselves, this book presents the work of ten young practices: Annemieke Diekman, DS, Eker & Schaap, Juurlink & Geluk, Kaap 3, Parklaan, Studio I.S., Venenbos & Bosch, Vista, and West 8.
