Out of the turmoil of that era, community-based ecological design emerged as a powerful creative force for reshaping the commons, bringing people together, and forming ecologically sustainable relationships with the environment. The stories in this book reveal how the revolution has played out in re-conceiving public places in the landscape of every-day life in northern California. The text focuses on the broad human, social, environmental, and cultural aspects of place-making to create livable, inclusive, sustainable, and treasured spaces. The aesthetic experience of each place is revealed through photos, diagrams, sketches, and plans. Success stories like these offer hope, so sorely needed, for dealing with the seemingly insurmountable current assaults on earth's life support systems" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Public spaces $x Environmental aspects $z California, Northern. 650 0 $a Public spaces $x Social aspects $z California, Northern. 650 0 $a Landscape architecture $z California. 650 0 $a Landscape architecture $x Environmental aspects. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA86A8A0E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
