Peter Walker, born in 1932, is one of the most seminal and prolific figures in contemporary landscape design – both as a teacher and as practitioner. His career now spans six decades. Amongst his best-known works are Nasher Sculpture Garden in Dallas, Novartis Campus in Basel and the September 11 Memorial in New York. His "generous landscapes" are characterized by minimalist forms; theses spaces are classical but also entirely modern. Scott Melbourne’s review looks at this unique oeuvre in retrospective and pays close attention to how Walker’s urban squares and parks have fared over time. He studies the main design features and provides a comparative analysis of their effects. In the second and updated edition of this book, foreword and bibliography were revised and a subject index was added.
Peter Walker, geboren 1932, ist einer der einflussreichsten Landschaftsarchitekten der Gegenwart – sowohl als Lehrer wie auch in seinen Arbeiten. Sein Werk umspannt mittlerweile sechzig Schaffensjahre. Zu den bekanntesten Entwürfen gehören Nasher Sculpture Garden in Dallas, der Novartis Campus in Basel und das World Trade Center Memorial. Charakteristisch für seine „großzügigen Landschaften" sind minimalistische Formen. Melbourne analysiert dieses Werk in der Retrospektive und wirft einen unvoreingenommenen Blick auf die Entwicklung der städtischen Parks und Plätze über die Zeit. Abgerundet wird diese Untersuchung durch eine Darstellung von Walkers zentralen Gestaltungsmitteln. Für die zweite und aktualisierte Ausgabe des Buches wurden Vorwort und Bibliographie überarbeitet und ein Sachregister neu erstellt.
