More DescriptionShowcasing the landscape architecture of Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg (PFS), a leading Canadian planning, urban design and landscape architecture firm, this comprehensive, thought-provoking and visually stunning book consists of seven commissioned essays by foremost architects working today. Each architect, including Bruce Kuwabara, Ken Greenberg and Kelty Miyoshi McKinnon, touches on provocative conceptual approaches to design that PFS takes within their practice.
From Contemporary Urbanism, Dynamic Process Cultural Landscapes, Super Natural, Contemporary Commemoration, Global Flows to Bodily Places, each essay theme covers and explores different PFS projects from Sherbourne Park in Toronto, to Confederation Square in Ottawa, from Vimy Memorial Restoration in France to Huang Pu in China. The projects are all accompanied by photographs by Scott Massey. An interview by the three founding partners of PFS, Chris Phillips, Marta Farevaag and Greg Smallenberg, is interspersed between essays, forming a binding thread that holds the book together.
