Description
Overgrown Practices between Landscape Architecture and Gardening by Julian Raxworthy offers a unique perspective on the intersection of two disciplines. Landscape architects and gardeners often work in different environments, with architects designing spaces and gardeners working in the dirt. Raxworthy argues that this separation can be beneficial, but also proposes a new approach that integrates the two practices. By working with plant material in a more organic way, landscape architects can gain a deeper understanding of growth and development. This book presents six case studies of gardens that demonstrate the potential of this approach, from formal to informal designs.
