Description:Women were active in landscape architecture in Scandinavia throughout the twentieth century, yet little is known about their contribution. This volume therefore asks: where are the women in Scandinavian landscape architecture? It thus presents new knowledge about women’s contributions to the shaping of modern cities and landscapes in the Scandinavian welfare states. With chapters by some of the most respected architectural and landscape architectural historians, as well as up-and-coming scholars and practice-based artistic researchers, the book make three major contributions. First, it asks the previously neglected question of women’s contributions to twntieth-century landscape architecture in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Second, it does so from a transnational perspective, bringing together researchers from Scandinavia and Finland. Third, it documents how collaborative formats for knowledge creation can generate new insights and fruitful links between researchers and research materials. The book brings to light new knowledge and new forms of architectural historical work on the contributions of many women landscape architects to designed open spaces.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
