Unearthed
The Landscapes of Hargreaves Associates
"M'Closkey avoids the spurious dichotomies of design versus planning or art versus science, recognizing the complexity and ambiguity in Hargreaves' work. Original and thoughtful, Unearthed places designed landscapes in the context of theory, legal and economic issues, and the changing morphology of cities."
Kenneth Helphand, University of Oregon
Unearthed examines how one of America's most significant landscape architecture firms approaches the redesign of public places to meet a range of ecological and social needs. With more than one hundred and fifty color and black-and-white images, this study uncovers the methods behind many canonical works of international landscape design. Les mer

"Unearthed redresses the paucity of scholarship about Hargreaves Associates through a grounded, sustained treatment. A valuable contribution to studies of contemporary landscape architecture."
