The Land&ScapeSeries seeks to present issues involving landscape in the widest sense of the word. The usual straightforward exhibition of works and projects for gardens, parks and public spaces is avoided here. Hybridization and contamination by other disciplines are the key concepts for understanding a new vision of the landscape and its expressive values. In this series, landscape is tackled from an angle that reveals a more complex environmental, aesthetic and formal sensibility, one more in accord with our contemporary world. Series edited by Daniela Colafranceschi.
