Landscape architects are often the unsung heroes who manage to create beauty from wasteland. In this demanding professional role that combines design, engineering, horticulture and architecture, the landscape architect is pre-eminent among the sculptors of our earth and an indispensable member of the design team. Tract Consultants was Australia's first landscape architecture practice, founded in 1972. Their primary aim is to work with clients to produce site-sensitive, high quality designs that will stand the test of time and express a unique sense of place. Due to the excellence of the company's work, IMAGES has chosen it to be part of its renowned 'Master Landscape Architect Series'. This magnificent addition includes an essay by an internationally recognised critic and traces the firm's selected and current works, making it a beautiful monograph about a ground-breaking company. 350 col., 50 b.andw.
