The author follows the artistic and theoretical development of the relationship between Land Art and landscape architecture from the 1960s onwards. The main part of the book is devoted to descriptive portraits of twelve internationally known landscape architects and artists who are exploring the wide and varied realm of landscape design. The uniting feature of the gardens, parks and objects documented in this book is the profound approach to fundamental dimensions of landscape: to questions of harmony and romanticism, functionality and vision, order and chaos.
