Leading landscape architect Kim Wilkie is revered for his unusual
vision and his acute grasp of how people have moulded their
environment over the centuries. This updated version of his classic
book, Led by the Land, has been expanded to include fresh thoughts
on farming and settlement and new projects, both huge and intimate,
from the designs for new cities in Oman and England to the Swansea
Maggie's Centre, and from plans for London's Natural History Museum
grounds to the sculptural setting of a furniture factory in
Leamington Spa. Wilkie has taken his genius to many parts of the
world - including the United States, Chile, Russia, Transylvania,
Italy, the Middle East, the very edge of the Arctic Circle, as well
as the British Isles - but to each undertaking he brings the same
approach of reverence for the land and the creatures that inhabit
it. He does not impose his inspiration on it but interacts with it.
He allows the land to lead him. Led by the Land ruminates on our
species' place in the environment, the way past masters have
fashioned it and the hopes for our future fruitful connections and
offers not only a rich account of an unusual talent, but also an
optimistic vision for our future.
