Specific Landscapes

hutterreimann + cejka landscape architects

What is specific about a place? And how can the hidden potentials of a place, a landscape be made visible? hutterreimann + cejka landscape architects have been designing public open spaces, such as parks, squares, garden shows and playgrounds, as well as residential environments, private gardens and representative complexes for the private sector, for ten years now. Their unconventional solutions are characterised by a passion for detail and the courage to make “large gestures” without fear of upsetting the balance. Specific landscapes therefore emerge from an interplay of familiar and new, of reflection and eidetic poetry.

This book presents the whole spectrum of unconventional proposals by the landscape architects in multitudinous photographs, plans and drawings, as well as accompanying essays.
