Making a Landscape of Continuity
The landscape architecture firm of Innocenti & Webel, founded in 1931, has been building landscapes for over sixty years. This firm's work is founded not on a desire for formal invention or new design languages, but on traditional designs, seasoned practices, and the bonds established with long-term clients. It seeks value not from novelty but from predictability and permanence. Richard Webel and Umberto Innocenti first joined as partners after the firm they both worked for closed due to the Depression. Their early commissions were for the design of private Long Island estates, but within a few years they were also working on larger projects such as university and corporate campuses. Making ...

Overgrown
A call for landscape architects to leave the office and return to the garden. Addressing one of the most repressed subjects in landscape architecture, this book could only have been written by someone who is both an experienced gardener and a landscape architect. With Overgrown, Julian Raxworthy offers a watershed work in the tradition of Ian McHarg, Anne Whiston Spirn, Kevin Lynch, and J. B. Jackson.

Landscape architects tend to imagine gardens from the office, representing plants with drawings or other simulations, whereas...
Leisure, Plantations, and the Making of a New South
Leisure, Plantations, and the Making of New South investigates the social, architectural, and environmental history of sporting plantations in the South Carolina lowcountry and the Red Hills region of southeast Georgia and northern Florida. Although plantations figure prominently in histories of the post-emancipation South, historians have paid little attention to the redevelopment of plantations for non-agricultural use. By examining the two largest concentrations of sporting plantations on the south Atlantic coast, this collection explores questions about historical memory of slavery, race relations, material culture, and the environment during the first half of the twentieth century.
