Description:

Second printing. - Is modernism fundamentally hostile to nature? How have the radical changes of the 19th and 20th centuries affected our attitudes toward nature and influenced the landscape as seen in modern building's relationship to the land and in the parks and gardens of the past century? Based on the premise that the way we shape our physical environment is a fundamental reflection of our culture, this compendium of essays on landscape in the 20th century grew out of a symposium organized in 1988 by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and featuring distinguished historians, scholars, architects, landscape architects, and artists. From a historical perspective, the discussion focuses on the problems and solutions of the twentieth century and addresses issues that are still relevant in the twenty-first century.
