The distinguished Swiss landscape architect Dieter Kienast was appointed professor of landscape architecture at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich in 1997. The focal point of the book consists of a selection of Kienast’s texts on his own conceptual models, on theory, on landscape architecture and urban planning. This presentation is supplemented by contributions by other authors throwing light on different aspects of Kienast’s work and thinking.
Marc Schwarz’s poetic video accompanies Kienast’s parks and gardens through the seasons and approaches Kienast’s ideas on landscape architecture in subjective images.
