Smokers in Love

One of the main reasons that I read Slate is for the consistently good architecture pieces. This week, they (Witold Rybczynski) finally get(s) around to talking about some landscape architecture, and in the process do a great job of illustrating (visually, with pretty pictures) the basic (three-fold) split in landscape architecture: landscape as landscape (nature), landscape as architecture (as in my entry on Lawrence Halprin), and landscape as art.
