{"product_id":"dynamic-geographies-9781951541057","title":"Dynamic Geographies","description":"\u003cb\u003eLandscapes are forged by many forces and are dynamic, not static. Yet most landscape designs are designed as static; that is, they are designed not to change substantially for 20-50 years. As cities become the dominant living space for humans, allowing non-human forces to contribute to our designs as landscape architects will make for more resilient landscapes and a healthier planet. Making these dynamic landscapes with our non-human partners will require a new landscape esthetic, changing the public perception of \"landscape,\" and changing maintenance practices. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dynamic Geographies seeks to address these perceptions with a series of our projects as examples--one for every of our 20 years in business. The book is divided into three segments of overlapping geographies: visible geographies, layered geographies, and unleashing geographies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWilks, Barbara:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Barbara Wilks, the founder of W Architecture and Landscape Architecture, is a leader in design, known best for bringing together nature and the urban in lively urban ecologies for humans and other species.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandel, Steven:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Steven Handel is an American educator and restoration ecologist.
