"With its beautiful photographs and substantial text, this large-format volume examines he relationship of landscape to the architecture of five major 20th-century architects . . . This is an impressive and beautiful volume."-- CHOICE, "Contrary to the critique that Modernist buildings disregard, or even impose on, their surroundings, the architects selected for this book were committed to the complete integration of human dwellings with their site of construction. The works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Miles van der Rohe, Richard Neutra, Alvar Aalto, and Luis Barragn are examined in essayistic form." --Metropolis "No one is better placed to write this study: Marc Treib has spent his entire career elucidating Modernist architecture and landscape."--Tim Richardson, Gardens Illustrated "With its beautiful photographs and substantial text, this large-format volume examines he relationship of landscape to the architecture of five major 20th-century architects . . .

Synopsis
An authoritative study of the interrelationship between modern architecture, landscape, and site strategy as viewed through the work of five prominent architects, An authoritative study of the interrelationship between modern architecture, landscape, and site strategy as viewed through the work of five prominent architects Modern architects are often condemned for a seeming disregard of site considerations such as climate, topography, and existing vegetation. Noted landscape and architectural historian Marc Treib counters this prevailing view in an authoritative and unprecedented survey of 20th-century buildings and their landscapes. Exploring a range of architectural, philosophical, and theoretical approaches, Treib investigates the site strategies of five prominent modern-period architects: Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), Richard Neutra (1892-1970), Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), and Luis Barragán (1902-1988). The character of the sites on which these architects worked dramatically affected their architecture and gardens, a fact illustrated by Wright's "organic" regard of the desert; Mies's evolving divorce of building from terrain; Neutra's transformation of the "realities" of the site; Aalto's use of the forest metaphor and interior landscapes; and Barragán's architectonic conversion of the land. Fully illustrated with rarely published archival drawings and plans, accompanied by the author's own exceptional photographs, this book presents the spectrum of architectural responses to the constraints of site, climate, client, program, building material, region, and nation. Taken as a group, the work of these five architects sheds important light on the consideration and influence of the site and landscape on the practice of architecture during the 20th century., An authoritative study of the interrelationship between modern architecture, landscape, and site strategy as viewed through the work of five prominent architects Modern architects are often condemned for a seeming disregard of site considerations such as climate, topography, and existing vegetation.
