The Landscape of Man

The Landscape of ManThe authors examined human-created spaces from ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, the Muslim world, medieval Europe, India, China, Japan, pre-­ Columbian America, and the post-Renaissance West in all its phases, as well as planning and landscape architecture from the mid-­ to late twentieth century.With a new introduction and final chapter by internationally respected landscape critic Tim Richardson, this edition explores modernism to postmodernism, post-­industrialism to large-scale urban planning in China and elsewhere, before ending with small-­scale healing and community gardens.Redesigned throughout with a contemporary look and feel, and illustrated in full color, this valuable resource to landscape architecture is made available to a new generation of readers interested in uncovering the history of our built environments.
