This issue of OASE magazine presents a new angle on the work of (landscape) architects and urban planners of the 1960s and 1970s (Edmund Bacon, Kevin Lynch and Jacques Simon) and of today (Günter Vogt, Anke Schmidt and Bas Smets), and sheds light on recent experiments in academia.

OASE 98. Narrating Urban Landscapes presents narration as a means with which to reposition design and the designer as a mediator between the expert and the inhabitant, addressing issues such as bodily experience, sociospatial fragmentation and participation.

With contributions by: Frederic Pousin, Günter Vogt, Anke Schmidt, Bas Smets, Andrew Shanken, Maarten Overdijk, Ed Wall, Carole Levesque
