Landscaping is the design of open spaces through
the use of live and inert elements as a way of transforming
nature. The projects for gardens and residential
landscapes, however, express a different complexity
to their larger, public counterparts. Ideas such as privacy
and concepts that take the family into account
prevail over other considerations. The garden becomes
another room of the house and is used on a daily basis.
The projects presented in this book respond to a drastic
renovation in what we understand to be traditional
gardening. Research into materials, respect for the
environment, spatial distribution and a profound knowledge
of the flora are the concepts used to create these
magnificent spaces.
