Résumé:

Contains: Woudstra, J.,Jacobus P. Thijsse's influence on Dutch landscape architecture. - p. 155-185
This volume explores the broad range of ideas about nature reflected in 20th-century concepts of natural gardens and their ideological implications. A possible definition- nature is ideology- suggests that nature can be seen as a systematic scheme of ideas held by particular social, political, and cultural groups and that what we define as nature is a human intellectual construct. Historical and contemporary concepts of natural garden design then provide evidence of different concepts of nature underlying these varied design approaches. The desire to produce a natural garden design has fascinated many professional and lay garden designers, and the various contributions in this volume investigate their use of earlier ideas of natural gardens and their relationship to the immensely rich model that nature offers. The work of early twentieth-century natural garden advocates is discussed in its relevance for contemporary design approaches.
