About the Book

In landscape-architectural design, a study of the site is naturally a crucially important design step. How can the preexisting layers, traces, and elements be broken down and made fruitful for the recomposition of the landscape?

This book presents an extensive typology of possible approaches to working with the site. With more than three hundred landscape designs from every time and place, it systematically presents the methods that underpin the processes involved in composing landscapes (e.g., reduction, decomposition, fragmentation, montage, and collage). Topics range from architectonic details to gardens all the way to cityscapes and cultivated areas, including New York's Central Park, sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Italian gardens, and the Seine landscapes in Paris.

An appendix containing several extensive indices, including an index of landscape-architectural terms, rounds out the usefulness of the book as a sound and solid manual of design.

Clemens Steenbergen, author of the successful book Architecture and Landscape, is a professor at the renowned TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) and one of the most experienced teachers in the world in the field of landscape-architectural design.

Für das landschaftsarchitektonische Entwerfen ist die Untersuchung des Ortes naturgemäß ein zentraler Arbeitsschritt. Auf welche Weise können die vorgefundenen Schichten, Spuren, Elemente für die neue Komposition der Landschaft aufgeschlüsselt und fruchtbar gemacht werden?

Das Buch stellt eine umfangreiche Typologie der Vorgehensweisen bei der Arbeit mit dem Ort zur Verfügung. Es zeigt anhand von mehr als 300 Landschaftsgestaltungen aus allen Zeiten und Ländern systematisch die Methoden, die landschaftlichen Kompositionsprozessen zugrunde liegen (z.B. Reduktion, Dekomposition, Fragmentierung, Montage, Collage). Die Themen reichen vom architektonischen Detail über Gärten bis hin zu Stadt- und Kulturlandschaften, darunter der New Yorker Central Park, italienische Gartenanlagen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts oder die Seinelandschaften in Paris.

Ein Anhang mit mehreren umfangreichen Registern u.a. zu landschaftsarchitektonischen Begriffen rundet den Nutzen des Buches als fundiertes Entwurfshandbuch ab.

Clemens Steenbergen, Autor des erfolgreichen Titels "Architecture and Landscape", ist Professor an der renommierten TU Delft und einer der weltweit erfahrensten Lehrer auf dem Gebiet des landschaftsarchitektonischen Entwurfs.
