Eine neue Generation chinesischer Landschaftsarchitekten, die außerhalb Chinas bisher kaum registriert wurde: innovativ, optimistisch, radikal und verankert in lokalem Kontext und Tradition. Dank ihrer internationalen Erfahrung in Ausbildung und Praxis verbinden sie Einflüsse aus Ost und West ganz selbstverständlich zu etwas Neuem. Sie gestalten Freiräume in hochverdichteten Stadträumen und revitalisieren vergessene Dörfer. Interaktion und Veränderung prägen ihre Projekte. New Horizons ist das erste Porträt dieser Generation: Acht erfolgreiche Büros werden in Interviews und mit ihren aktuellen Projekten vorgestellt; Essays von Experten runden mit ihrem Blick von außen das Bild ab. Ein Standardwerk für jeden, der an den Diskursen interessiert ist, die die chinesische Landschaftsarchitektur von heute bestimmen.

A new generation of Chinese landscape architects, that has hardly been registered outside China, is emerging: innovative, optimistic, radical, yet rooted in local context and tradition. Thanks to their international experience in training and practice, they seamlessly combine eastern and western influences to create something new. They design open spaces in high-density cities and revitalize remote rural areas. Their projects are characterized by interaction and change. New Horizons is the first portrait of this generation: an external view provided by expert essays is followed by detailed and richly-illustrated profiles of eight successful studios including interviews with founders. An essential reading for everyone interested in the current discourse shaping the contemporary Chinese landscape architecture.
