Presenting work by someof the most innovativepractices across the globe:inspiring ideas for a world ofmore beautifully designedoutdoor spaces

Despite its importance to place-making, urban planning, and the environment,landscape design has often played an inferior role to architecture.Typically, as little as three percent of a project's construction budget isallocated to the space that surrounds a building, but that is changing. Agreater desire to blend buildings into their contexts, ecological considerations,legislation, and new definitions of "scaping" have opened up excitingpossibilities.Coinciding with heightened social sensitivities, advances in materialapplication, data-driven mapping techniques, and digital technologies andconstruction methods, landscape designers are producing a new wave ofwork around the world, reshaping gardens, public squares, leisure areas, andindustrial parks. Among the practices included in this survey are designerswho have bridged modernism with newer forms (Emergent, West 8); architectswhose work fuses with the earth's contours (Zaha Hadid, MVRDV);and a generation of designers only just emerging from universities.Nadia Amoroso is Professor of Landscape Architecture at the Universityof Toronto and has lectured at Harvard and Cornell universities.
