Riassunto

<p>Europeans no longer develop their towns on unspoiled terrain but rather on former agricultural land. European landscape architectures’ response to the question how to address progressive urbanization of the landscape is thus: working not only on site but also with the geographic and historical characteristics of the site.</p> <p>The European landscape is a narrowly enclosed, diverse, densely built, and domesticated space that is rich in brilliant landscape architecture.</p> <p><em>On site</em> presents pioneering projects and strategies in landscape architecture from Berlin to Bordeaux, from Akkarvikoden in Norway to Evora in Portugal. The projects are supplemented by essays on European cartography, the cultural landscape, the history of ideas in landscape architecture, the role of ideal landscapes, urban policies, and the pioneers from Portugal such as Francisco Caldeira Cabral and Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles.</p> <p>The projects and texts have been selected by an independent jury of practicing landscape architects from various European countries and edited by a team of experienced European professionals, lavishly illustrated, and skillfully designed by the makers of the successful book <em>Fieldwork: Landscape Architecture Europe</em>.</p>

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

In Europe, it is the specific site and the landscape architect’s sensitivity to its intrinsic geographical

and historical characteristics and processes that inspire new functions and forms.

On Site presents 48 pioneering projects and strategies in landscape architecture from Berlin

to Bordeaux and from Akkarvikodden in Norway to Évora in Portugal, supplemented by essays

on subjects following from these projects.

An independent jury of practising landscape architects from various European countries has

selected the projects, and the texts have been edited by a team of experienced European

professionals.

On Site is the follow-up of Fieldwork as the second volume in the book series Landscape Architecture

Europe, recommended by the European Foundation for Landscape Architecture (EFLA).
