Acknowledgments
Richard Weller is Head of Landscape Architecture at the University of Western Australia, and Director of Room 4.1.3 Landscape Architecture and Design.
"The provocative use of symbolism is an essential part of landscape art today, and Weller and Sitta are at its forefront. Typically mixing the artificial and the natural, their work explores possibilities of the new urban park and its radical hybrid nature."--Charles Jencks, architect, critic, and author of The Language of Post-Modern Architecture "The work of Room 4.1.3 enriches the theoretical discourse of contemporary landscape architecture... This book is a statement of their formative ideas."--Kenneth Helphand, FASLA, University of Oregon, former editor of Landscape Journal
