A lot of publications / books are devoted to document design projects which have completed construction. As it may take years from design stage to project completion, the ideas and concepts that were employed in designing these projects might not be considered the most current ones. Some good design projects, for other reasons beyond their design merits, might not be constructed / materialized at all.

This book sets out to document landscape architecture projects that are either unbuilt, under construction, or purely experimental with an intention to bring to readers the current thinking, ideas and concepts in Landscape Architecture.

“Ideas and Concepts - Landscape Architecture” presents 55 designs from 41 design practices and individuals. These designs, if carried out, would spread over 13 countries; and provide readers a glimpse to the current trend, from East to West and from North to South.
