Contemporary Landscape Architecture: Masterpieces around the World

Landscape architecture creates and designs free spaces for people: around, on, on and even inside buildings, as self-sufficient creations in populated areas or in the great outdoors. It mediates between nature and architecture, connects grown and planned environments, brings function and aesthetics together. Against the background of climate change, the central task today is the preservation of natural resources and the creation of sustainable, high-quality green and open spaces, especially in the urban context. As a reference work and source of inspiration based on projects worldwide, this compendium offers an overview of the entire creative field based on current projects from all over the world. What they all have in common is that ecologically and socially intact living spaces are created and designed.
