Product Description
These 22 essays provide a 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. "Modern Landscape Architecture" brings together seminal articles from the 1930s and 1940s by Garrett Eckbo, Dan Kiley, James Rose, Fletcher Steele, and Christopher Tunnard, and includes contributions by contemporary writers and designers such as Pierce 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.

The essential guide
Professor Marc Treib has been particularly prolific in recent years, concocting some brilliant books, displaying his flair behind the camera, pen, graphic layouts, editing suite... while of course - revealing an incredible concern with all matters of landscape/culture/design.
This volume, although omitting some important developments in Europe, is a wonderful critical compendium of landscape discourse and built work. The guest writers are the main attraction, with a particularly disclosing chapter by Peter Walker as well as original scripts by Eckbo, Rose and Kiley.
This volume should appeal to all who are engaged in studying culture - American in particular. Above all, this is a good reference tool for sourcing, comparing and enjoying the analysis of landscape design.
