Summary:
For over a century, "Country Life" magazine has been influential in the world of garden design. Since 1897, its superbly illustrated essays on houses and gardens sought to inform and educate taste. Drawing from the unrivalled photographic archives of "Country Life", this magnificent volume charts the challenges, changes, and surprises of English garden design throughout the last century. The story begins with Arts and Crafts gardens, typified by herbaceous borders and modern planting, and it continues with the Edwardian debate between formality and "wild" gardening, inter-war grandeur, postwar practicality, and pioneering artists' gardens. Beautifully illustrated with 200 colour and duotone photographs, this is an illuminating survey of an outstanding century of British garden-making.

Summary:
Martha Schwartz est l'une des plus grandes architectes paysagistes contemporaines. Son style exubérant, qui mêle concept, humour et rigueur, a donné un nouveau souffle à une profession qui jusqu'alors s'épuisait à privilégier une approche horticole. Depuis son " Bagel Garden " (1979), jardin simple mais révolutionnaire orné de petits pains ronds qui déclencha la foudre des uns et l'admiration inconditionnelle des autres, Martha Schwartz n'a cessé d'être à l'avant-garde, proposant des projets qui tous remettent en cause les notions conventionnelles de " nature " et de " paysage " et mélangent avec passion formalisme audacieux, couleurs franches, matériaux insolites et utilisation parcimonieuse des végétaux. Ce livre, première monographie exhaustive de l'œuvre de Martha Schwartz, présente une trentaine de projets réalisés dans le monde entier. Chaque création, magnifiquement illustrée de photographies, dessins et plans, est décrite avec brio par Tim Richardson, éminent spécialiste britannique du jardin et du paysage, et commentée par Martha Schwartz elle-même. Celle-ci signe par ailleurs trois textes extrêmement personnels qui nous éclairent sur sa démarche artistique et nous révèlent ses prises de position souvent radicales. Les projets non conventionnels de Martha Schwartz ont profondément influencé les créateurs de jardins et de paysages ainsi que les architectes et les urbanistes - c'est à eux que ce livre s'adresse, ainsi qu'aux amateurs d'art paysager en quête d'inspiration et d'innovation.

Clients corporate, civic, and private are committed to the creation of innovative outdoor spaces.Curated by one of the world's leading critics of contemporary landscape design, this collection profiles work by fifty design studios through texts, up-to-date projects, easy-to-read plans, and photographs.
