This book explores the life and work of landscape architect Ted Smyth. Widely acknowledged as a primary innovator in the development of modernist garden space, Smyth created and instantly recognisable personal language of design. The book contextualizes his New Zealand projects within modernist landscape production in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Just as his own work cannot be fully evaluated without a consideration of its regional links, the development of landscape architecture in the Asia Pacific itself cannot be understood without a sustained critical discussion of Smyth’s significant contribution.
