Embodied Figures in a Landscape

Figures in a Landscape, volume 9 in the landscape review Pages Paysages, features a critical investigation into the relationship between the body and space, laying particular emphasis on actions and interventions. Projects from France, Italy, England, USA, Germany and Japan are presented, highlighting the new possibilities and solutions in the area of international landscape architecture, such as the theatrical interventions of a French dance company with their swaying bodies, which contribute to enlivening public places. Pages Paysages is not a review one can read through hastily. Like a novel, it needs to be read slowly so that the impressions and the ideas sink in and stir up new questions that become the starting point for new explorations in landscape research and design.Claramunt, Marc is the author of 'Embodied Figures in a Landscape' with ISBN 9783764367404 and ISBN 3764367407.
