Making a Landscape
of Continuity: The Practice of Innocenti & Webel
Gary R. Hilderbrand, editor |
|
Innocenti & Webel, a firm established by unlikely partners in the
early 1930s, has for over sixty years built landscapes of great range
and remarkable consistency. Even in the face of enormous cultural change,
the firm's work has rested firmly on a base of established design conventions,
seasoned practices, and the cultivation of long-term relationships with
clients during fifty years of continuous service. Although scholarship
has given us rich accounts of the pivotal figures who helped to shift
modern landscape architecture toward the realities of modern life, we
know less about those at the normative center of landscape practice.
It is here that we find Innocenti & Webel - virtuoso practitioners
of a high art of landscape architecture across the twentieth century.
Their landscapes are worlds well made: built on respected traditions,
envisioned by well-trained eyes, shaped by sure hands and crafted through
disciplined practice.
