"Recovering Landscape is a provocative examination of how contemporary landscapes are designed, constructed, and culturally valued. Gathering essays on current landscape architectural theory and practice, this volume proposes that landscape is reappearing in the cultural sphere after years of relative neglect and indifference, and that it is time to rethink the landscape itself-what is actually is or might yet become as both an idea and a physical reality.
Recent examples of landscape design from the United States, the Netherlands, France, India, and Southeast Asia are discussed in detail, elucidating themes such as reclamation, urbanism, infrastructure, geometry, representation, and temporality."--
