Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects

Source Books in Landscape Architecture 2
by Jane Amidon and Peter Reed

Ken Smith is unquestionably one of the most interesting figures in landscape architecture today. His works reflect the intensity and energy of their surroundings and challenge the distinction between landscape and art form. This book focuses on three of his prominent works in New York City—his East River Project, his work for P.S. 19, and his MoMA rooftop garden. Through Smith's colorful, playful drawings and photographs, the book reveals how each project explores new expressions of landscape design in the city.

Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects is part of the Source Books in Landscape Architecture series sponsored by Ohio State University. These books present sketches, drawings, models, renderings, working drawings, and photographs of important works at a level of detail that allows thorough study of the project from its conception to the completion of design and construction.
