اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]"The first half of the book focuses on recent developments in garden design: new aesthetic principles and materials, new functions and contexts. Artistic movements such as abstraction, conceptual art, minimalism, and land art present provocative visual precedents. Industrial and high-tech materials - chain-link fencing, artificial fog, plastics, fiber optics - share the stage with plants, which have themselves become the subject of exploration and innovation. The importance of the site, whether ecological, geological, or historical, is a significant influence on landscape architecture. And three twentieth-century garden designers - Luis Barragan, Isamu Noguchi, and Roberto Burle Marx - continue to inspire the evolution of contemporary landscape design."
