"Peter Walker and Partners / Nasher Foundation Sculpture Garden" focuses on his garden in Dallas, Texas, a set of outdoor galleries showcasing the Nasher collection of modern and contemporary sculpture. A museum without a roof, the garden, with its subtle balance of art and nature, is also a serene urban park, whose beauty perfectly complements Renzo Pianos design for the center. Peter Walkers informative sketches, drawings, and plans, along with photographs of the final design, reveal the delicate balance between art, culture, and context at the heart of the Nasher Foundation Sculpture Garden.
