About this title

Synopsis

Without imagination a park is a mere dry decor for people who come and go - a meaningless facade whereas it should be the most artistic of landscape architecture. This present study contributes to the formation of theories of landscape design by means of a comparative design analysis. In this it considers contemporary park design and the sources influencing designers while it also aims to discover and reveal the qualities and potential of recent developments.
