Description: The complex story of modern landscape architecture remains to be written, as does its precise definition. 'Thinking a Modern Landscape Architecture, West & East', written by one of the field's most prolific and insightful authors, provides a rare cross-cultural study that examines the written and design contributions made by two of the movement's most influential early protagonists: Christopher Tunnard (1910-1979) in England - and later the United States, and Sutemi Horiguchi (1896-1984) in Japan.0Illustrated with 150 historical and contemporary photos and drawings, 'Thinking a Modern Landscape Architecture, West & East: Christopher Tunnard and Sutemi Horiguchi' offers the first compressive study into their thinking, landscape designs, and consequent influence on landscape architecture in the years that followed.
