Opis

This text on the practical application of theories of landscape and planning presents a collection of essays, arranged thematically, in which the author takes a critical look at new approaches to current problems in both landscape/environmental design and urban planning. He shows how design in these areas is changing - or should change - in response to the influence of postmodern ideas from cultural theory.
