Landscapes of Modern Architecture: Wright, Mies, Neutra, Aalto, Barragán
by Marc Treib
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).
