Reviews
Bruce K. Ferguson's A Philosophy of Landscape Construction, coupl[es] technical considerations and details-decisions about materials, assemblies, sizes, etc.-with their real-world effects, the interactions they afford, and the values that underpin them. Ferguson convincingly argues that construction design does not merely translate or implement the concepts, commitments, or intents identified during previous design phases, but rather extends and refocuses the design process itself, unlocking new horizons of action and possibility. Simone Ferracina, review in Landscape Research

Simone Ferracina, review in Landscape Research Adding to Bruce K. Ferguson's array of publications in refereed periodicals and books is A Philosophy of Land>scape Construction, a qualitative essay in the ways built landscapes interact with values that will supplement university landscape architecture, architecture, and urban design students' technical textbooks and references, helping to advance young professionals' technical training.
