Metropolitan landscape architecture : urban parks and landscapes
The city does not exist without landscape, nor landscape without the city. The original landscape is always reflected in the form of the city. But how is architectonic coherence between the city and the landscape really achieved? What exceptional developments and high points can be identified in the process? METROPOLITAN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE sketches the development of the urban landscape from the Renaissance to the present. The examples include urban landscapes and parks in Rome, Paris, London, Berlin, New York, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Boston, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cologne. Here, for the first time, the architecture of the urban landscape is the subject of a systematic, visual study, with more than 450 drawings, maps and illustrations. This opens up a new, fascinating perspective on the role of landscape in shaping the metropolis today.
