From the Back Cover

In twenty essays, this book covers aspects of planning, architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, park and garden design. Their approach, described as post-postmodern, is a challenge to the 'anything goes' eclecticism of the merely postmodern.
The essays range from high theory to the practical craft of those who work with hand tools, drawing boards and computers. They provide: a view of how cities can be made more sustainable, more beautiful, more contextual and more friendly to their inhabitants; a readable discussion of current ideas in design philosophy and planning theory (including structuralism, postmodernism, deconstruction and feminism); practical advice on methods of design and planning.

5.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining and provocative book., 28 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Perhaps the most entertaining book to have been written by a British landscape architect since Ian McHarg's Design with Nature (though McHarg hardly counts as British any more). Turner challenges orthodoxies and opens up new approaches to landscape architecture based on the analysis of patterns and the use of metaphors.
