Landscape Design PromenadesLinks International (Leading International Key Services Barcelona, S.A.), 2008 - Architecture - 179 pages "As a significant item in contemporary town planning, the promenade demands a case study of its most successful examples. A place for people to see and be seen, the promenade is the meeting place where a society's identity is constantly reaffirmed. Omission of this in some urban areas has underlined the need for other public areas besides gas stations. Thus, a deeply rooted urban tradition, cutting-edge contemporary planning and environmental concerns meet in a thrilling new field of design. Thoroughly documented with large, full color photographs, plans, sketches and explanatory texts provided by the contributing architects, this book answers to the need of professionals or laymen seeking up-to-date knowledge regarding the management of public space in the city.--Page 4 of cover. |
