Ken Smith is unquestionably one of the most interesting voices in landscape architecture; his works reflect the intensity and energy of their surroundings and challenge the distinction between landscape and art form. Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects focuses on three prominent works in New York City: his East River Project; his work for P.S. 19; and his MoMA rooftop garden. Through Smith's colorful, playful drawings and photographs, the book reveals how each project explores new expressions of landscape design in the city.

Landscape architecture is a unique discipline where art, nature and the city converge and enter into an exciting dialogue. In the USA, the country of vast open plains and spacious towns, the great tradition of life in confrontation with nature plays an equally important role in landscape architecture as the acute problems of the built environment or social problems within the community. Design methods and practise in landscape architecture form the focus of this book, complemented by an analysis of the theoretical aspects of the subject. Perceptive portraits of 13 offices span the whole breadth of landscape design, from the post-ecological utopia of Michael Sorkin (New York/Vienna) to the urban pragmatism of the Roma Design group (San Francisco), from the ecological approach of the Philadelphia group Andropogon, also active in Japan, to the minimalist landscape art of Kathryn Gustafson (Seattle/London/Paris).The author is a freelance landscape architect in New York. His detailed knowledge of the contempo

It was not all too long ago that somebody like Eero Saarinen brought in landscape architect, Dan Kiley, to collaborate on his projects. Even at that, landscape architects were seldom the team leaders in competing for those jobs. Most planning competitions-- even those where parks were the major focus-- were still won by architects, partially because they were the first to wholeheartedly adopt computer technology as part of the presentation process. When asked why landscape architects were not successful in those competitions, the answer was usually,"they aren't that proficient with the computer.'Now that has all changed. Landscape firms such as Ken Smith, Michael Van Valkenburgh, George Hargreaves, Hoerr Schaudt, Stoss, Field Operations, Peter Walker, and West 8, just to name a few, are household names. They are usually leading teams for urban design projects, not to mention parks of all sizes and shapes.The leading landscape/urban design firms mentioned on these pages as competition winners, or important members of successful teams, is a tribute to the advances in the landscape profession and recognition that a project doesn't just end at the front door. Thus we see architecture firms such as OMA and Diller Scofidio and Renfro collaborating with landscape firms for park projects in New York, Toronto, Glasgow and Moscow.This recent phenomenon is examplified by the number of competitions mentioned in this issue, where landscape and planning are major components of the process. From the Lexington Town Branch competition, won by Scape / Landscape of New York, to the University of Manitoba's campus planning competition, won by Janet Rosenberg Studio, the evidence is clear: landscape architects are, more than ever, an integral part of our urban planning process.

Phenomenology, Materiality, Cybernetics, Palimpsest, Cyborgs, Landscape Urbanism, Typology, Semiotics, Deconstruction - the minefield of theoretical ideas that students must navigate today can be utterly confusing, and how do these theories translate to the design studio? Landscape Theory in Design introduces theoretical ideas to students without the use of jargon or an assumption of extensive knowledge in other fields, and in doing so, links these ideas to the processes of design. In five thematic chapters Susan Herrington explains: the theoretic groundings of the theory of philosophy, why it matters to design, an example of the theory in a work of landscape architecture from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, debates surrounding the theory (particularly as they elaborate modern and postmodern thought) and primary readings that can be read as companions to her text. An extensive glossary of theoretical terms also adds a vital contribution to students’ comprehension of theories relevant to the design of landscapes and gardens. Covering the design of over 40 landscape architects, architects, and designers in 111 distinct projects from 20 different countries, Landscape Theory in Design is essential reading for any student of the landscape.

Landscape Architecture Criticism offers techniques, perspectives and theories which relate to landscape architecture, a field very different from the more well-known domains of art and architectural criticism. Throughout the book, Bowring delves into questions such as, how do we know if built or unbuilt works of landscape architecture are successful? What strategies are used to measure the success or failure, and by whom? Does design criticism only come in written form? It brings together diverse perspectives on criticism in landscape architecture, establishing a substantial point of reference for approaching design critique, exploring how criticism developed within the discipline. Beginning with an introductory overview to set the framework, the book then moves on to historical perspectives, the purpose of critique, theoretical positions ranging from aesthetics, to politics and experience, unbuilt projects, techniques, and communication. Written for professionals and academics, as well as for students and instructors in landscape architecture, it includes strategies, diagrams, matrices, and full colour illustrations to prompt discussion and provide a basis for exploring design critique.
