In his new book Finding the Place of Architecture in the Landscape, Peter Gisolfi asserts that the most successful architecture relates clearly to setting – to landscape. Landscape can be “natural,” “vernacular,” or “designed,” but it is the basis for all architectural and landscape architectural endeavors.

The book examines 40 of the firm’s projects, large and small, with site plans, building plans, renderings, and photographs. Unlike traditional monographs which are organized by project types, Mr. Gisolfi has chosen to organize the book by settings, based on the types of landscapes encountered: • Townscape is the landscape of cities, towns, and villages.
