This beautifully illustrated guide celebrates some of the most
significant award winning public spaces in major cities in the UK and
Ireland over the last ten years.
Dealing with a range of contemporary and innovating designed landscapes
from urban spaces to public parks, this book focuses on those that have
been awarded the highest design accolade from the Royal Institute of
British Architects, The Royal Town and
Planning Institute, The Landscape Institute and The Civic Trust.
Focusing on designs in ten major cities, and providing a snappy synopsis
of each of the spaces in terms of its design statement, function,
location, design team and award commentary, It illustrates to
the reader what makes 'good design' in the public realm, providing both
information and inspiration.
