One of Europe's most acclaimed landscape architects, Paolo Bürgi is known for creating minimalist landscape interventions that powerfully reveal the essence of a place. Bürgi looks beyond a site's physical boundaries and takes into account its cultural and topographical history. The latest addition to our successful Source Books in Landscape Architecture series, Paolo Bürgi Landscape Architect features three of his projects in Switzerland: the Cardada Mountain revitalization in Locarno; the harbor square in Kreuzlingen; and the Terrace on the Forest in Ticino. Raffaella Fabiani Giannetto, Sonja Dompelmann, John Dixon Hunt
