Carl Theodor Sørensen is one of the great landscape architects of the 20th century. He worked with virtually all the leading architects of Danish functionalism. He shared their belief that architecture is both a spatial and a social art. Sørensen's body of work is enormous. Among these are monuments of landscape architecture and of modern design.
The Danish edition has been out of print, but now we have reprinted and published an English edition with Anne Whiston Spirn as translator and co-author. She is a professor and head of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania in Philidelphia.
