Capturing Essence: Virginia Burt Designs, (Hardcover)

<b>The award-winning landscape architecture firm Virginia Burt Designs is widely celebrated for a diverse body of work--including landscapes and gardens for private individuals, therapeutic gardens for hospitals, estate master plans, and native landscape restoration, in both the United States and Canada--that is at once beautiful and profoundly meaningful.</b> <p>A holistic approach to design and realization serves as the foundation to each project, expressing a respect for people and place while also attending to our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual experience of space. </p><p>Published upon the firm's thirtieth anniversary, Capturing Essence features seventeen projects that collectively express the firm's ethos and encapsulate the expansive nature of its work--from a site of transformation and environmental restoration at Acadia Point in Nova Scotia, a former whaling station and now place of renewal, to Schneider Healing Garden, expressly designed as a healing garden to support the mission of the Seidman Cancer Center in Cleveland. </p><p>The book provides an experience of these extraordinary spaces, through words and images, through touch and imagination, through story and inspiration. An invitingly tactile and sensuous object, Capturing Essence is a natural expression of the work of the firm, made with care and an attention to detail, to materials, to form, and to spirit.</p>
