The first major monograph on the most important international landscape architect of the twentieth century. Dan Kiley has influenced generations of landscape designers, & his work has heightened our awareness of our surroundings through his lifelong tenet that the actions of people are integral to nature & its course. Despite his international renown, no comprehensive monograph has ever been published on Dan Kiley. Produced in close collaboration with the architect, this is the definitive book on the man & his oeuvre, from early projects to his most recent works. Although the greatest concentration of his work appears in the United States, for example Lincoln Center in New York & the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., he has designed substantial schemes in Europe, including La Defense, in Paris. His most recent urban-scale projects include work in Japan. At the monograph's heart are Dan Kiley's own descriptions of his most significant projects, grouped by the themes that have shaped the stages of his fifty-year career. An extensive reference section with an illustrated chronology & bibliography round out the book.Kiley, Dan is the author of 'Dan Kiley The Complete Works of America's Master Landscape Architect' with ISBN 9780821225899 and ISBN 0821225898.
