Produced under the leadership of Claude Cormier, the range of these projects has spanned the creation of parks and squares, the renovation of historical landscapes, and the conversion of industrial sites. While always serious in the address of function, their designs often display a touch of humour in both method and form-in all, these are works marked by "serious fun." It is a practice unique in Canada, arguably in the world. That people use, and may even love, these urban landscapes testifies to the pleasure afforded by their designs and the humanistic dimensions of the practice. This, the first book exclusively dedicated to the landscapes of Claude Cormier and his team, provides a broad overview of their ideas and methods with insightful discussions of selected projects and the thinking behind them. 600 10 $a Cormier, Claude. 650 0 $a Landscape architecture $z Canada. 700 1 $a Herrington, Susan, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202015632.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABF8731A25A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
