Landscape Architecture – Case Studies by SWA

The integration of clean energy, mass-transit alternatives to car traffic, and changing attitudes about water conservation has changed our cities' approach to public infrastructures: it has created a new set of performance criteria for existing and proposed infrastructural corridors. Landscape Infrastructure deals with this paradigm shift by questioning the viability of our traditional single-purpose corridors that are networked across vast scales of public and private lands, serving the purposes of moving vehicles, electricity, water, and oil. SWA landscape architects and urban designers, with many case studies, propose a multifunctional approach that is more in tune with contemporary society. ISBN 978-3-0346-0593-9
