Hardback

Description

This is a book about contemporary Swedish landscape architecture, reflected through the work of the country's leading landscape designer Thorbjorn Andersson.

Three essays by international writers open the book, elaborating on the concepts of Nature, Site, and Restraint.

The essays are followed by the project section, including photographs, drawings, and descriptions.

The projects are in the public realm; mainly squares and parks in Sweden. Swedish landscape architecture stands firm in the world, directed towards social use and careful design.

Sweden has developed a tradition built on human values, selective design, and an urge to work in a resourceful way.

The book covers a selection of recent projects by Thorbjoern Andersson, who is one main interpreter of contemporary Swedish landscape design.

Essays are by Annemarie Lund of Denmark, critic, editor and author, Marc Treib, professor emeritus of UC Berkeley and prolific author, and Udo Weilacher, chair of Landscape department at TU Munich and author.
