Innovative landscape architect Lewis offers a comprehensive and unified presentation of the Regional Design Process he has developed and applied for 40 years. The approach guides development toward less fragile lands, preserves natural cores within developed areas, and relies on renewable resources. After an overview of the US and a sampling of sites, he focuses on the northern midwest, particularly Wisconsin where much of his work has been done. Highly illustrated in black and white.
