In "Between Garden and City," Dorothee Imbert examines the career of Belgian landscape architect Jean Canneel-Claes (1909-1989), firmly establishing his place in the modernist movement. Canneel's theoretical positions and innovative designs sought to align the emergent landscape profession with architecture and urbanism while demonstrating its potential to address the needs of modern society.

Canneel studied at La Cambre (Belgium's equivalent to the Bauhaus) under landscape urbanist Louis van der Swaelmen and graduated as the school's first landscape architect in 1931. Dedicated to...

Landscape architecture meets art in Munich. The new and extremely playful park in Munich covers a three-hundred meter section of railroad tracks and creates urgently needed open space for the neighborhood of Theresienhohe. This monograph examines the new park design in a number of essays and documents the design and production process.

We start with the clients' wishes for an outside play area for their young twin girls that will be visually pleasing when viewed from the living rooms several stories above. And the condition of the site: an odd-shaped and impossibly steep and tilted small plot covered in brambles. We present a 'before' picture, early drawings,...
