Résumé:
"This other Eden" is a captivating narrative of seven great gardens, beautiful canvases that represent not just pleasure grounds but a country's evolution. Showpieces of grand design, they are also barometers of social change; lasting reflections of intellectual endeavour, of religion and philosophy, science and technology, art and literature, from Robert Cecil's garden at Hatfield House, conceived by the famous botanist and plant-collector John Tradescant, who travelled widely to seek out unusual specimens, to Capability Brown, who 'improved' upon nature to create the archetypal English parkland; from Joseph Paxton, whose engineering feats at Chatsworth mirrored the great Victorian age of technology, to Getrude Jekyll, who turned back to nature and designed the English cottage garden renowned the world over.

Résumé:
Enge Kooperationen mit Architekten eingehen, Traditionen der eigenen Disziplin sehen und fortsetzen, Freiräume temporär oder nachhaltig gestalten, die Krise der Künstlichkeit überwinden – die Anforderungen an heutige Landschaftsarchitektur erhalten immer komplexere Dimensionen. Auf welche Weise können Gebäude und Freiraum entwurflich integriert werden? Welche Potenziale ergibt das Zusammenwirken von Landschaftsplanung und Ingenieurskunst? Was folgt, nachdem Design zur Künstlichkeit gerann? An zahlreichen aktuellen landschaftlichen, städtischen und privaten Planungen sowie anhand von thematischen Essays renommierter Autoren (u.a. Karl Ganser, Thies Schröder, Christian Welzbacher) zeigt das attraktive Buch, welche wegweisenden Antworten die landschaftsarchitektonischen Gestaltungen der Gegenwart auf zentrale Fragestellungen geben.

Résumé:
In the Fall of 2004, The Museum of Modern Art completed a major expansion and renovation of its famous midtown Manhattan building, doubling the Museum's size and introducing dynamic new galleries and public spaces. At the core of the remodeled Museum, designed by architect Yoshio Taniguchi, is the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, newly restored to its 1953 dimensions. Described by Taniguchi as "perhaps the most distinctive single element of the Museum today," the Sculpture Garden, an oasis of water, trees and masterpieces of modern sculpture, has long been the Museum's signature space--as well as its social heart. This fully illustrated, affordable, pocket-sized book is designed to convey the beauty and elegance of the garden. It also features a photographic chronology of the many performances, exhibitions and events held in the garden over the years, as well as an introduction and a brief historical narrative.

Résumé:
Peter Latz and Partners specialize in a contemporary, intelligent use of alternative technologies and the regeneration of industrial wastelands. They have worked with Norman Foster among others. The trademark of the works of the firm, which was founded in 1968, is its ability to express ecological and social concerns in a strong aesthetic language. Process orientation and the revealing of chronological layers of a site are the focus of design. The firm’s current projects include the design of large-scale street and park environments on the Plateau de Kirchberg in the European City of Luxembourg, the Parco Dora in Turin, Italy, and the conversion of a disused waste disposal site in Ayalon Park near Tel Aviv, Israel. Peter Latz teaches at the Technical University) in Munich-Weihenstephan and has held guest professorships at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University. Udo Weilacher is dean of the Fakultät für Architektur und Landschaft (School of Architecture and Landscape) at Hanover University.

Résumé:
Ce livre, l'un des quatre premiers d'une série dédiée aux plus grands jardins du monde guide les amoureux des jardins à travers Apremont, un parc de création relativement récente, situé au cœur de la France. C'est un décor de conte de fées dans lequel un château et ses tours dominent le village médiéval fleuri qui s'étend sur les rives de l'Allier. Village et parc du château sont devenus inséparables grâce à l'œuvre de Gilles de Brissac, jardinier-paysagiste, qui les a réunis par des jardins à thème, des mixed-borders, des arbustes et des arbres à fleurs, des cascades, une succession de lacs et une série de folies architecturales. Son texte retrace l'histoire du lieu et en est la célébration. Les photographies de Claire de Virieu viennent en compléter l'intime connaissance.
