One of the fundamental considerations in landscape architecture is whether to create something which appears to be natural, or to design something deliberately artificial. Always moving between nature and artifice the art of landscape architecture expresses itself in a sensitive awareness of time and place. If the design is not to become a mere ornament, then it must be supported by concepts and visions, daring to create something new from the existing surroundings. This collection of essays which have been published over the last decade in Topos a? European Landscape Magazine, is a valuable contribution to the literature in the specialised field of landscape architecture. The authors include Paolo B'rgi who writes on dimensions of memory, Joachim W. Jacobs who investigates the Bauhaus and the theory of space, and Kathinka Schreiber who takes a critical look at landscape in film.Topos - European Landscape Magazine Staff is the author of 'Texte Zur Landschaft/About Landscape Essays Uber Entwurf, Stil, Zeit Und Raum/Essays on Design, Style, Time and Space', published 2003 under ISBN 9783764369774 and ISBN 3764369779.
