{"product_id":"landscape-and-utopia-hardback","title":"Landscape and Utopia - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines three landmark utopian visions central to 20th century landscape architectural, planning, and architectural theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe period between the 1890s and the 1940s was a fertile time for utopian thinking. Significant geographic shifts of large populations; radically altered relations between capital and labor; rapid technological developments; large investments in transportation and energy infrastructure; and repetitive economic disruptions motivated many individuals to wholly reimagine society – including the connections between social relations and the built environment. \u003ci\u003eLandscape and Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e examines the role of landscapes in the political imaginations of the Garden City, the Radiant City, and Broadacre City. Each project uses landscapes to propose a reconstruction of the relationships between land, labor, and capital but - while the projects are well-known – the role played by landscapes has been largely left unexamined. Similarly, the radical anti-capitalism that underpinned each project has similarly been, for the most part, left out of contemporary discussions. This book sets these projects within a historical and philosophical context and opens a discussion on the role of landscapes in society today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a must-read for instructors, students, and researchers of the history and theory of landscape architecture, planning, and architecture as well as utopian studies, cultural and social history, and environmental theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566303404270,"sku":"9781138483866","price":210.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/landscape-and-utopia-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
