Diachronicles : Pages Paysages 8 (Pages Paysages)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Pages Paysages, a renowned French journal, will be published for the first time in an English edition by Birkhauser. Each volume is devoted to a particular theme in contemporary landscape architecture, using a wide selection of international examples. "In the Meantime" takes a look at how locations are slowly transformed by natural growth or changes in weather. These changes occur at a leisurely pace, frequently determined by chance, and man is often powerless to intervene. Even in urban landscapes, we can rediscover this natural "wild" element. Fifteen richly illustrated projects from France, Germany, England, Spain, Brazil, and the USA, provide an international overview of this fascinating and multifaceted topic.
