Engaging treatiseBy Richard PetersonI bought this on my Landscape Architects suggestion; to help me understand his philosophy for steering nature rather than overriding nature.I was immediately drawn into the prose. Its quite a treatise; and deserves to be read attentively; not thumbed through. (Although its admittedly fun to thumb through; owing to the interesting illustrations).4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. One of Ian McHags most important legacies...By The AyresA "classic" in the field of Landscape Architecture and still well worth reading closely. We knew the Jersey Shore which got developed and then wiped clean by a hurricane in the 1960s. Ians graduate students and he worked with the State of New Jersey on code recommendations for Long Beach Island during the immediate aftermath. This book contains a lot of the key insights that emerged from the experience as well as a strong dose of observations and recommendations from a true Master.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Essential text for twenty-first century citiesBy c.larchA seminal text; worth considering today. McHarg examines the essential aspects of mans relationship with nature and the built environments potential to better adapt to the natural world.
