The landscape gardening of this period is Nordic Romantic Functionalism, which involves incorporating the natural vegetation and bedrock seamlessly into the yards and gardens of housing blocks. The simplicity of the buildings’ architectural design is thereby enhanced by a natural approach to its surroundings. This lovely book affords important lessons for both the architect and the landscape gardener.
