Description
PWP Landscape Architecture: Building Ideas explores how landscapes are designed with the reader/client in mind and their historical implications. This book delves into the history of Peter Walker's firms from the 1950s to 2000, tracing key projects and achievements.
Twelve finished projects, seven works in progress, and three competitions showcase the firm's goals and accomplishments, highlighting the expansion of landscape architecture beyond buildings to self-sufficient entities that balance ecological function and design.
The book also examines recent projects using consultants to further develop design ideas. With a focus on the evolution of landscape architecture, PWP Landscape Architecture: Building Ideas provides insight into the profession's development over time.
