Through selected works this monograph showcases the design work and
research of leading landscape architect Richard Weller, Chair of
Landscape architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. The book
documents the evolution of Weller’s practice from small scale
artworks to planning megaregions, including his latest proposal for
a World Park. With essays by Jillian Walliss and Dirk Sijmons as
well as his own writing, the book explains Weller’s methods and
motivations; a unique window on to the ways in which the discipline
of landscape architecture has matured over the last 40 years.
Through a carefully curated selection of work, the book makes the
case that landscape architecture is at best “art of
instrumentality. The two essayists in the book are highly regarded.
Jillian Walliss of Melbourne University is a contemporary landscape
architectural critic and in 2017 Dirk Sijmons received the IFLA sir
Geoffrey Jellicoe award, the highest international achievement in
landscape architecture.
