Description: "Peter Gisolfi is an architect, landscape architect, and teacher whose built work reconciles the influences of context and program. His concern for the relationship of architecture to its setting translates into graceful connections between buildings and landscapes." "Mr. Gisolfi asserts that the most successful architecture relates clearly and unabashedly to setting-to landscape. This is a different approach to architecture and landscape architecture in its focus on spatial types instead of building types. This book examines 40 of his firm's projects, large and small, with site plans, building plans, renderings, and photographs."--Jacket.
