On Landscape Architecture

Guido Hager

This publication provides a variety of perspectives on the garden in general as well as on the tradition of historical gardens. Through his designs, Hager shows how this garden culture has been translated into contemporary concepts that take site-specific contexts into consideration. He highlights different ways of laying out aesthetically pleasing, public green zones and private gardens and presents ways of dealing with garden memorials that are in keeping with the times. Guide Hagen also supplies answers to questions such as how structures can be designed to fit into a neighborhood, how they advance architecture, and whether or not they can simultaneously both stimulate and calm the senses.
