Description: In Touch' presents the finest European landscape architecture. An independent international committee of leading landscape architects selected more than forty projects out of the 500 submissions. Eleven projects receive special attention in a lavishly illustrated plan analysis. Trends and developments in the field are being examined thoroughly in the essays. Issues that are dealt with are for instance the interaction with nature, the growing importance of design research, the search for the correct form language, and the roots of design traditions in Switzerland and Catalonia.
