Over a hundred projects by artists and landscape architects from the USA, Japan, Germany, Denmark, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and Italy present the broad conceptual repertoire of an ecological aesthetic whose designs focus on natural processes of growth, destruction and renewal. They are responding to man's longing for the untouched, his need for identity, orientation and presence, but also to the necessity for a paradigm shift in art, landscape architecture and environmental design.
