Playgrounds, cemeteries, memorials, historic sites, public squares, gardens, industrial rehabilitation sites, wild national parks, and manicured urban parks provide the settings for work, recreation, commerce, memorialization, and mourning and shape the experience and meaning of these activities in Canada. In the first critical history of designed landscapes in our country, Ron Williams approaches landscape architecture as a social art that creates places for people to use and as an environmental art through which practitioners act as stewards of the natural world. Landscape Architecture in Canada provides a detailed panorama of the man-made landscapes that vary as widely as the country's geography."--book jacket. 0aLandscape architecturezCanadaxHistory.  2lccc6hSB470.55.C3iW55 2014  00102lcc4070a4b4c33d2017-06-02eAmazong48.36l0oSB470.55.C3 W55 2014p91000000059741r2024-02-23 15:50:44v58.36w2017-06-02y6zPres. 2016-2017
