In the aftermath of World War II, design was key to a new way of living as carefully thought-out principles were applied to new homes and commercial buildings across the country. From open plan living to new materials in buildings and furnishing, the 1950s marked a bright new era.

The 1950s Home
I remember seeing a copy of this book in school (maybe in S. Parsons' hands), but only recently picked it up and read it for the essays by Corner, Girot, Marot, and Descombes. Lately, I've been seeking out the books like this one (and there are several) with essays that cover a variety of topics in contemporary landscape practice but also always sort of herald the emergence(some, like this one, were written almost ten years ago) of "landscape urbanism" as a new field. I have to admit that I find the new category useful only in that it seems to bring together great essays on landscape. And there is, in fact, a sort of direction shared by most of these writers and practitioners.
It's really exciting stuff to read. Alex Wall's essay, "Programming the Urban Surface," and Bart Lootsma's, Synthetic Regionalization," stand out as excellent surveys of this trend. I'm also particularly partial to the texts by Girot, Descombes, Berrizbeita, and Mathur. James Corner's essay (possibly more than his introduction) is also an exciting entry into these topics (which I will continue to be vague about for now).
