Proceedings from the Wave Hill Conference
Spacemaker Press, 1999
order now
Thirteen essays from a conference at Wave Hill discuss the problems and dilemmas of saving landscapes that are not old enough to have won a popular constituency. Academics, designers, and managers in the nonprofit sector provide valuable guidance to students in historic preservation and landscape history. The information will also assist the general public that, as editor Charles Birnbaum says, must be educated about the value of modern landscape design. |
