Through selected works this monograph showcases the design work and research of leading landscape architect Richard Weller, Chair of Landscape architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. The book documents the evolution of Weller’s practice from small scale artworks to planning megaregions, including his latest proposal for a World Park.

Through a carefully curated selection of work, the book makes the case that landscape architecture is at best “art of instrumentality.”
