Overview
Coast, Country, Neighbourhood, City takes stock of where Isthmus has come from and, most importantly, highlights the approach and attitude that we wish to take forward. The 25 projects selected illustrate the traits that we consider valuable: love of places, commitment to design, the power of ideas and a 'no boundaries' approach.First and foremost, this is a book about New Zealand landscape architecture and urban design. Edited by Michael Barrett (former editor of Landscape Architecture New Zealand, Interior and Prodesign), with essays by Dr Jacky Bowring and founding directors David Irwin and Gavin Lister, this is a generous, well-crafted and beautifully photographed book.The four central chapters illustrate the design thinking and stories behind 25 projects, and the impact that these have had on their communities. Coast, Country, Neighbourhood, City is the first published compilation of works detailing the output of a New Zealand landscape architecture / urban design studio.

Author Information
Since 1988, Isthmus has pioneered the design of culturally meaningful, enduring and inspiring environments, in that time becoming one of New Zealand's leading design studios. Well known for an ability to make a positive impact across a wide range of project types, Isthmus's works of landscape architecture, urban design and, more recently, architecture have created vibrant new communities, healthy new ecologies, and built environments that are simple in their expression yet rich in authenticity, value and culture. Over the last three decades the practice has achieved some of this country's highest design honours. Michael Barrett is a writer and editor who writes predominately about New Zealand design and its impact upon the built environment. He is a former editor of Landscape Architecture New Zealand, Interior, Prodesign and has contributed to a number of other publications.
