In Touch showcases the best of landscape architecture in Europe. An independent international committee of leading landscape architects, chaired by Michael van Gessel, selected more than forty exceptional projects from over five hundred entries. Eleven projects receive detailed attention in a richly illustrated plan analysis. Trends and developments in the field are elaborated on in essays, such as the handling of nature, the increasing importance of design research, the search for the right formal language, and the roots of design traditions in Switzerland and Catalonia.
