Summary:

Peter Shepheard was an outstanding multi-disciplinary educator and practitioner whose contribution to the development of the profession of landscape architecture is widely undervalued. This volume provides the first ever overview of the life and work of one of the leading architects, landscape architects and planners of the post-war era. Created by a an international team of scholars, "Peter Shepheard "explores and evaluates Shepheard's skills and achievements and places them in the context of his enormous intellectual curiosity and fascination with the miniscule detail of the natural world. He did much to proselytize a multi-disciplinary holistic approach to the built environment based upon his knowledge of ecology, an approach that has considerable resonance for practicing architects and landscape architects today.
