Description
In Latin America the landscape architect differs in some important respects from her European or North American counterpart. Academic programmes tend to be relatively new and thin on the ground, so practice stems from her own experience and an attitude that sees, utilises and recreates the landscape as an aesthetic and cultural means of expression.
Using numerous case studies of urban and rural reclamation and conversion projects, Latinscapes tries to display an attitude common to various countries in this region: that of landscape understood as raw material, as a search procedure for successfully defining a group portrait made up of different faces that have certain common origins and histories. The contrast with European and North American practice will intrigue and excite those involved in the field.
