Although LandsKap Design was created just over 10 years ago in Bergen, Norway, by Professor of Architecture Arne Saelen, there is no question that it is now one of the key exponents of landscape architecture and a unique reference for urban landscape artists worldwide. Not only has the practice received prestigious international awards and taken part in forums and biennials but its founder has worked for over a decade in close collaboration with various Norwegian universities in the Social Sciences sector. Saelen's constant quest, research and awareness form this firm's huge contribution to architecture, viewing landscape as an essential part of our cultural heritage and hence the backbone of our cultural space. This monograph is therefore much more than a compendium of architectural projects: it is the exposition of the new concept of "rurban" space - which combines rural and urban characteristics.

From the Inside Flap:

Although LandsKap Design was created just over 10 years ago in Bergen (Norway), there is no question that it is now one of the key exponents of landscape architecture and a unique reference for any urban landscape artist. Saale's constant quest, research and awareness form this firm's huge contribution to the project, viewing landscape as an essential part of cultural heritage and hence the backbone of our cultural space. This monograph is therefore much more than a compendium of architectural projects: it is the materialization of a new concept of "rurban" space.
