Unbounded Practice
Angebote / Angebote:
Women have practiced as landscape architects for over a century, since the founding of the practice as a profession in the United States in the1890s. They came to landscape architecture as gardeners, garden designers, horticulturalists, and fine artists. They simultaneously shaped the profession whilereflecting contemporary practice. It is all the more surprising, then, that thehistory of women in American landscape design has received relatively littleattention. Tha sa Way corrects this oversight in "UnboundedPractice: Women and Landscape Architecture in the Early Twentieth Century."Describing design practice in landscape architecture during thefirst half of the twentieth century, the book serves as a narrative both of women --such as Beatrix Jones Farrand, Marian Cruger Coffin, Annette Hoyt Flanders, EllenBiddle Shipman, Martha Brookes Hutcheson, and Marjorie Sewell Cautley -- and of thepractice as it became a profession.Winner of a 2008 David R.
