Modern Landscape features over 30 international projects, including schemes by both architects and landscape architects, often working in collaboration. Following an in-depth introduction, the book is arranged in four thematic sections of extensively illustrated case studies, each of which deals with a different aspect of landscape design - Parkland, Architecture as Landscape, Garden Landscapes and Urban Interventions - to identify it in the light of historical and contemporary precedents.
