Peter Walker, geboren 1932, ist einer der einflussreichsten Landschaftsarchitekten der Gegenwart – als Lehrer wie in seinen Arbeiten. Zu seinen bekanntesten Entwürfen gehören Nasher Sculpture Garden in Dallas, der Novartis Campus in Basel und das World Trade Center Memorial in New York. Melbourne analysiert dieses Werk in der Retrospektive und wirft einen unvoreingenommenen Blick auf die Entwicklung der Parks und Plätze über die Jahrzehnte.

Peter Walker is one of the most seminal and prolific figures in contemporary landscape design worldwide – both as a teacher and as practitioner. Among his best-known works are Nasher Garden in Dallas, Novartis Campus in Basel, Switzerland and the World Trade Center Memorial in New York. This academic review of Walker's unique oeuvre look closely at his design work and provides a comparative analysis.

„Ein deutliches Plädoyer für das ‚analoge, physische‘ Selbsterfahren von gestalteten Landschaften, um daraus für das Neugestalten künftiger, mit nachhaltiger Orientierung, ohne auf den Instagram-Effekt zu spekulieren, zu lernen.“ (in zoll+38, 10.2021)
