OverviewThe central question animating Dieter Kienast’s anthology is: ""Where better can we practice attentive interaction with the natural world than in its microcosm, the garden?"" From the start of his career as a landscape architect Kienast also wrote prolifically. Once he intensified his collaboration with architects and urban planners in the 1980s, his essays, commentaries, and statements found their true subject: landscape architectural design in the human habitat, beyond the ecological dogma of a supposedly untouched and self-unfolding nature. Anyone looking for answers to the fundamental questions of the designed environment that are both profound and thought-provoking will enjoy this classic of contemporary landscape architecture. A classic that has finally been republished A collection of texts by one of the most important thinkers in contemporary landscape architecture With an up-to-date commentary on Kienast’s ideas and work by Prof. Udo Weilacher Full Product DetailsAuthor: Professur für Landschaftsarchitektur ETH ZürichPublisher: Birkhauser Imprint: Birkhauser Edition: 2nd Revised edition Weight: 0.587kg ISBN: 9783035627268ISBN 10: 3035627266 Pages: 224 Publication Date: 06 November 2023 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
