Sinopsis, mountains, valleys, weather conditions and open spaces become the background and the support for a new medium of artistic expression
that does not adhere to the conventional walled boundaries of museums or art galleries. Nature and art acquire a new identity that provides
an almost cosmological vision, where boundaries blur and meaningful new environments arise, enhancing the specific characteristics of a
particular location, inviting the inhabitants of the surrounjding neighborhoods to a creative reevaluation of the place the live in.
This book encompasses a complete collection of projects within the field of landscape architecture, a specialization that is of ever-greater
importance, as our awareness and sensitivity towards environmental concerns increases. Within these pages, over fifteen imaginative and
innovative solutions will allow the professional or the student involved in landscape management to achieve an understanding of this field,
with application to a wide variety of scales and contexts, as well as in different parts of the world. These projects, thoroughly documented
and commented by the architects who authored them, offer a wide-angle vision of the diversified strategies implemented in contemporary
landscape design and construction.
