Book Description

May 1, 1999 Landscape Views (Book 2)
Daniel Urban Kiley is generally considered to be America's foremost postwar landscape architect. Yet the work from the first two decades of his career is little known, despite both its inherent interest and its importance as a testing ground for his well-known later work.
?This book focuses on Kiley's most provocative projects from 1940 to 1960. Contributors present analytical investigations of Kiley's rarely studied early housing projects and garden prototypes, his garden plans for the Hollin Hills subdivision in Washington, and, in new ways, his best-known work, the Irwin Miller Garden.

Review

"Kiley's impact upon world landscape is substantial and memorable....In his quiet way he is a true leader." -- Garrett Eckbo

"This book is...significant for the eloquence and perceptive powers of its contributors....The careful research and broad experience that underlie each of their papers have resulted in authoritative explorations of key examples of Kiley's work." -- James Marston Fitch
