Résumé:
The gardener labours to harmonize nature's most subtle forms with his or her own most elaborate plans. Gardens present a succession of ever-rephrased dialogues between nature and culture, design and delight, work and play. Yet they are also mutable and fragile, vulnerable to the rigors of the changing seasons. The most stimulating thought and research on the history of the garden from the fifteenth century to the present day are organized chronologically here in sections that cover the humanist garden in Renaissance Italy; the Baroque garden and classical park; picturesque, arcadian, and sublime gardens of the Enlightenment; mazes, grottoes, and other curiosities; town and city parks; and even Disneyland. In each section, individual gardens are analyzed as paradigms of their type: the Hortus Palatinus in Heidelberg, the Parc Monceau in Paris, Stowe in England, and many others, including contemporary gardens designed by Roberto Burle Marx, Ian Hamilton Finlay, and Geoffrey Jellicoe. Many hitherto unrecorded examples are detailed, and well-known aspects of the history of the garden are reinterpreted from totally new perspectives. The essays are supported by paintings, reliefs, and drawings as well as figurative illustrations and photographs. A specially commissioned series of fifty-one plans of each epoch's most significant gardens completes this survey of the evolution of the Western garden.

Résumé:
The heem parks (parks that predominately feature native wild plants) De Braak, the K. Landwehrpark and, especially, the Jac.P. Thijsse Park in Amstelveen in the Netherlands, have been important sources of inspiration for landscape architects, gardeners, and nature lovers throughout the world since they were first laid out over fifty years ago. This new book looks at the extraordinary history of these parks and the work of the landscape architect Christiaan Broerse and his colleague, the botanist Koos Landwehr. It also details Broerse and Landwehr’s creative and highly original use of a great variety of native plants in these parks. Bekkers analyses the parks as integral elements of Amsterdam’s urban expansion plans and demonstrates how successfully Broerse and Landwehr resolved the tension between the conservation movement and city planners. He shows too how interest in the Amstelveen heem parks have grown over time. These parks have played a key role, for instance, in the increasing emphasis on the use of native plants in the layout of green areas. The book is richly illustrated, with specially commissioned full-colour photographs by Jan Derwig and aerial photographs by Jan Schot. Also included are historical illustrations and sketches.

Résumé:
Landscape architecture is a unique discipline where art, nature and the city converge and enter into an exciting dialogue. In the USA, the country of vast open plains and spacious towns, the great tradition of life in confrontation with nature plays an equally important role in landscape architecture as the acute problems of the built environment or social problems within the community. Design methods and practise in landscape architecture form the focus of this book, complemented by an analysis of the theoretical aspects of the subject. Perceptive portraits of 13 offices span the whole breadth of landscape design, from the post-ecological utopia of Michael Sorkin (New York/Vienna) to the urban pragmatism of the Roma Design group (San Francisco), from the ecological approach of the Philadelphia group Andropogon, also active in Japan, to the minimalist landscape art of Kathryn Gustafson (Seattle/London/Paris).

Résumé:
In the early 1990s the design and creation of the Central Garden at the Getty Center were entrusted to the distinguished contemporary visual artist Robert Irwin. Irwin, a member of California's "light and space" movement, was an unexpected choice for this major commission, and his work has aroused intense interest in the art world and among gardening enthusiasts and visitors to the Getty Center. In "Robert Irwin Getty Garden", Lawrence Weschler offers a lively account of the creation of what Irwin has playfully termed "a sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art." Weschler's narrative is followed by a transcript of conversations in which he and Irwin, in a series of walks through the garden, discuss in detail the decisions, both philosophical and practical, that shaped the making of this major art work in Southern California. The book contains more than 150 colour illustrations, many of them specially commissioned from photographer Becky Cohen.
