The central question animating Dieter Kienast’s anthology is: "Where better can we practice attentive interaction with the natural world than in its microcosm, the garden?"
From the start of his career as a landscape architect Kienast also wrote prolifically. Once he intensified his collaboration with architects and urban planners in the 1980s, his essays, commentaries, and statements found their true subject: landscape architectural design in the human habitat, beyond the ecological dogma of a supposedly untouched and self-unfolding nature.
Anyone looking for answers to the fundamental questions of the designed environment that are both profound and thought-provoking will enjoy this classic of contemporary landscape architecture.
- A classic that has finally been republished
- A collection of texts by one of the most important thinkers in contemporary landscape architecture
- With an up-to-date commentary on Kienast’s ideas and work by Prof. Udo Weilacher
Chair of Landscape Architecture, ETH Zurich
