This third biennial publication reflecting current disciplinary developments that influence how we shape our environment is in itself markedly well designed. Over 35 selected projects from all over the Netherlands are clearly chaptered, illustrated, explained and introduced by six analytical essays. The projects range from the Amsterdam Council's blueprint initiative for a clean and attractive city centre, to a garden suburb, a cemetery and an airport. This compilation will enable professionals as well as their clients to keep abreast of the freshest Dutch landscape architecture and town planning.Price: $26.95
LandscapeConstructed wetlands are gaining worldwide acceptance as effective, low-cost, and low-impact alternatives to unsightly, high-impact wastewater treatment facilities. The creative involvement of today's planners, landscape architects, developers, environmental engineers, and public officials is helping to maximize the potential of these wetland habitats--from their aesthetics to their multiple uses as water treatment plants, wildlife refuges, and recreational or educational facilities. Yet, to date, the literature has paid no attention to these aspects, focusing instead on the technical side of wetlands construction and function.
