{"product_id":"modern-landscape-architecture-a-critical-review-9780262200929","title":"Modern Landscape Architecture: A Critical Review","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese twenty-two essays provide a rich forum for assessing the tenets  accomplishments  and limits of modernism in landscape architecture and for formulating ideas about possible directions for the future of the discipline.  During the 1930s Garrett Eckbo  Dan Kiley  and JamesRose began to integrate modernist architectural ideas into their work and to design a landscape more in accord with the life and sensibilities of their time. Together with Thomas Church  whose gardens provided the setting for California living  they laid the foundations for a modern American landscape design.  This first critical assessment of modem landscape architecture brings together seminal articles from the 1930s and 1940s by Eckbo  Kiley  Rose  Fletcher Steele  and Christopher Tunnard  and includes contributions by contemporary writers and designers such as Peirce Lewis  Catherine Howett  John Dixon Hunt  Peter Walker  and Martha Schwartz who examine the historical and cultural framework within which modern landscape designers have worked.  There are also essays by Lance Neckar  Reuben Rainey  Gregg Bleam  Michael Laurie  and Marc Treib that discuss the designs and legacy of the Americans Tunnard  Eckbo  Church  Kiley  and Robert Irwin. Dorothee Imbert takes up Pierre-Emile Legrain and French modernist gardens of the 1920s  and Thorbjorn Andersson reviews experiments with stylized naturalism developed by Erik Glemme and others in the Stockholm park system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652113096757,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262200929","price":295.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262200929.jpg?v=1781849213","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/modern-landscape-architecture-a-critical-review-9780262200929","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
