Description:
This book explores different design approaches to revealing change within a landscape, and examines how landscape designers bring together the cultural context of a specific place with material, spatial and ecological considerations.
Review Quotes:
For me, great landscape architecture results from an ongoing philosophical response to time and place. It reflects a culture wrestling with its relationship to nature in all its forms. In her book, Revealing Change in Cultural Landscapes: Material, Spatial and Ecological Considerations Catherine Heatherington explores this issue with great care.
This is a probing piece of work where philosophical positions are interrogated, past and possible direction acknowledged and exemplar-built works discussed. But most importantly, the reader is left to form their own conclusion, and, in this way, the door is left open for new possibilities.
