Site, Sight, Insight by John Dixon Hunt
Site, Sight, Insight presents twelve essays by John Dixon Hunt, the leading theorist and historian of landscape architecture. The collection's common theme is a focus on sites, how we see them, and what we derive from that looking.
"John Dixon Hunt loves to be in gardens, as do many of us who design and build themBut Hunt brings to his visits a critical, informed eye that is founded on his background in literary and art history, and it is this difference that makes him so valuable to the field of landscape architecture." * Peter Walker and Jane Brown Gillette, from the Foreword *
