The Inspired Landscape

Landscape architects are trained to understand and use the geology and ecology of a specific site, but they are also artists who use their creativity and imaginations to design a work of art. Like all artists, they must begin with a source of inspiration, and The Inspired Landscape is a photo-driven survey those creative processes.

The Inspired Landscape explores the creative process of outstanding landscape architects through their most celebrated projects. Susan Cohen, the founder and director of the acclaimed Landscape Design Portfolio Series at New York Botanical Garden, illustrates the creative path taken by landscape architects like Mikyoung Kim, whose design for the Crown Sky Garden in Chicago was inspired by the interplay of music and nature. And Cornelia Oberlander, whose vision for the form of a Vancouver green roof was drawn from a Karl Blossfeld photograph of a gently undulating orchid leaf. With original sketches, plans, and photographs, this book is an extraordinary journey through the creative process.
