One of Europe's most acclaimed landscape architects, Paolo B rgi is known for creating minimalist landscape interventions that powerfully reveal the essence of a place. B rgi looks beyond a site's physical boundaries and takes into account its cultural and topographical history. The latest addition to our successful Source Books in Landscape Architecture series, Paolo B rgi Landscape Architect features three of his projects in Switzerland: the Cardada Mountain revitalization in Locarno; the harbor square in Kreuzlingen; and the Terrace on the Forest in Ticino.

Paolo B rgi Landscape Architect presents enlightening discussions between landscape historian Raffaella Fabiani Giannetto and Paolo B rgi. A foreword by Sonja D mpelmann and an essay by renowned landscape architect and philosopher John Dixon Hunt round out this invaluable volume.
