Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
A collection of essays by some of the most prominent scholars and designers in the field of contemplative landscape design, examining the principles involved in the creation of contemplative spaces, particularly in the West.
MoreLong description:
Contemplative landscape and contemplative space are familiar terms in the areas of design, landscape architecture and architecture. Krinke and her highly regarded contributors set out to explore definitions, theories, and case studies of contemplative landscapes. The contributors, Marc Treib, John Beardsley, Michael Singer, Lance Neckar, Heinrich Hermann and Rebecca Krinke have spent their careers researching, critiquing, and making landscapes. Here they investigate the role of contemplative space in a post-modern world and examine the impact of nature and culture on the design or interpretation of contemplative landscapes.
The essays, drawn from both scholarship and personal experience explore the links between spaces designed to provide health benefits and contemplative space.
'An invaluable collection ... [the] essays are invaluable tools for our entire profession engaged in designing any landscape.' - Dennis Winters, ASLA More
