Riassunto

What is it that we love about gardens, and what can landscape architecture be today? Guido Hager has devoted himself to addressing these questions during his more than twenty-five years as a landscape architect. His answers can be found in numerous designs and realized works. Around sixty of them---gardens, parks, streets, and promenades---are presented in the texts and over three hundred images of this book.

On Landscape Architecture provides penetroting insights into the cultural treasure of the "garden" in general, and into how it is situated in the trodition of historical and contemporary garden art in particular. In his work, Guida Hager always views "garden culture" as the horticultural expression of a yearning for unity with nature---for paradise. This book shows how much his creative visions are based on the discussion surrounding historical gardens. How and when can contemporary concepts be applied within them? Why, and in what way, should the contexts of specific locations be integrated into their design? And what possibilities can the aesthetic design of public and private spaces exploit?

Guido Hager's solutions, which are always unconventional yet nevertheless conscious of tradition, generate locations that are rooted in their surroundings and develop existing architecture further while at the same time being sites of both creative tension and paradisiacal serenity.
