Description: "Blasen Landscape Architecture listens attentively for clients’ thoughts and builds gardens that provide a pristine and deeply felt encounter with the land. Interested in the psychological qualities of land, they work, essentially, to increase their clients’ happiness. The gardens in this book grow on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, in the valleys of the California coastal hills, in tight urban lots, and on spacious residential estates. Each is of a sophisticated and seamless high quality and demonstrates Eric and Silvina Blasen’s ability to intensely intuit and beautifully forge a relevant, contemporary dynamic between architecture and land. Whether a wildflower meadow or a courtyard around a fireplace, the spaces are built sustainably and shine with a single quality: ease with the outdoors. Blasen Landscape Architecture embraces green practices, and while their work has been widely published, Living Land captures the very essence of the Blasens' philosophy."--
