La natura come amante / Nature as a Lover

Richard Haag Associates

Luca Maria Francesco Fabris

Series: Environscapes

Richard Haag is the only American landscape architect to be twice winner of the ASLA ‘President's Award for Design Excellence’. Founder of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington (Seattle), his study has always gone hand-in-hand with the exercise of his profession – as can be seen in the vast number of projects effecting upon the Seattle appearance. Haag’s art has always been a just balance between nature and technology.

This monograph tells for the first time the history of the influential Richard Haag Associates studio; drawing upon an unpublished archive, it presents a total of 26 projects, including such famous designs as the Gas Works Park and the Bloedel Reserve. A source for anyone interested in landscape architecture and environmental design.
