Description
The essays contained in this book are written by a cross section of the most respected teachers and prac-titioners of landscape design from around the globe. Ecological Design and Planning offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest thinking and practices in the art and science of ecological landscape design from such leading lights as Michael Laurie, Carol Franklin, Laurie Olin, Elizabeth Meyer, Mark Johnson, and Ian McHarg.
The common thread that runs through these essays is the authors' conviction that the growing rift in landscape designecology vs. aestheticsis an artificial one. Each author expresses abiding concern for the ecological preservation and enhancement of the site, while demonstrating clearlywith both words and picturesthat the best designs are those that harmonize aesthetic form and ecological function. Ecological Design and Planning is a source of ideas and inspiration for landscape architects and planners, architects, and all those who understand the importance of designing with nature.
