Summary:
Telling the story of one of the most important gardens in Europe, created by the internationally celebrated architectural critic and designer Charles Jencks and his late wife, the landscape architect and author Maggie Keswick, this book looks at The Garden of Cosmic Speculation. It is a landscape that celebrates the new sciences of complexity and chaos theory and consists of a series of metaphors exploring the origins, the destiny and the substance of the Universe. The garden is full of ideas, associations, games and memories; Jencks weaves his personal account of the garden's creation into an investigation into the revelations of recent science, using landscape and design to shed light on the way we can now conceive of the Universe. This book is illustrated with year-round photography

Summary:
By the late twentieth century, idyllic depictions of eighteenth-century manorial landscapes had become artistic expressions of dislocation. Western agricultural paradigms had shifted, as had the relationship between art and agriculture. The Cultivated Landscape uses over seventy illustrations to look at the development of Western agriculture from feudal times to the present. Craig Pearson and Judith Nasby discuss the evolution of how we think about agriculture, its use of the land and impact on landscape, and how landscape has been portrayed historically in art. They also offer a wider discussion on the role that science and economics have played in agricultural development and the parallels to changes in art form. The Cultivated Landscape ends with a discussion of the complex issues facing agriculture today, the need for greater connectivity between agriculture and our environment, and options for the future.

In recombing both, landscape design answers to the ever growing job responsabilities : architecture, urban development and region development oriente the landscape. Linked up with this challenge, but also with the cultural tradition of garden art, Büro Kiefer creates new hybrid from town and landscape. Their starting point is a contemporary undestanding of space. On the basis of an analysis of the space, the division of influences and ideas an recombining them, Büro Kiefer creates images referring to the future. Photography by Hans Joosten.

La paysagiste américaine Kathryn Gustafson a acquis une renommée internationale exceptionnelle. Son travail actuel se concentre sur les espaces publics. La récente Fontaine à la mémoire de Diana, Princess of Wales, au Hyde Park à Londres, n'est qu'un exemple d'une longue liste de projets acclamés, réalisés avec ses associés chez Gustafson Porter (Londres) et Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (Seattle), dont la Arthur Ross Terrace au American Museum of Natural History (New York), le Cultuurpark Westergasfabriek à Amsterdam, le Lurie Garden à Chicago et le Hadiqat As-Samah à Beyrouth. Les plus de trente projets internationaux présentés dans Moving Horizons illustrent le talent distinctif et éminemment artistique de Kathryn Gustafson et Associés à créer des formes sensuelles, sculpturales. Le livre présente en même temps les collaborations avec des architectes comme Norman Foster, Ian Ritchie, Mecanoo, Valode & Pistre et James Polshek. L'importance de cette œuvre a également été reconnue par de nombreux prix, comme le Chrysler Design Award, et la sélection pour l'exposition " Groundswell: Constructing the Contemporary Landscape " au Museum of Modern Art de New York.

Summary:
Christophe Girot has occupied the Chair of Landscape Architecture at the ETH Zurich since the year 2000. Girot's projects are all based on simple geometric and gestural movements. His concept of garden architecture begins with the modelling of the earth surface. The resulting topography is the basis of a restrained plant vocabulary.

Sous le nom "Agence Ter", ils ont fondé ensemble une agence à Paris en 1986, une deuxième en Guyane française en 1988 et une troisième à Karlsruhe en 2000. Une œuvre étonnante est issue de cette constellation. Suite à des concours gagnés en Allemagne, Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas et grâce à l'enseignement d'Henri Bava à l'Université de Karlsruhe, l'influence de ces architectes s'étend au-delà des frontières nationales. Cette oeuvre ainsi que l'essai analytique de Jean Pierre Le Dantec, l'un des plus grands connaisseurs de l'architecture du paysage en France, est consacré aux travaux de l'Agence Ter qui développent la thématique de l'eau. Dans les jardins et les aménagements qu'elle propose, l'eau constitue souvent un thème important, voire central. Elément fugitif et à multiples facettes, elle déploie dans les jardins un potentiel poétique varié.

The creative process by Bernard Lassus provides a wonderful opportunity for a close observation, illustrated by his own photographs and drawings, of his landscape design approach which is opening new directions for landscape design beyond the motorway. It shows how an artist calls upon his own life experience and upon his understanding of the ethical and esthetic issues of landscape design to create a stunning landscape.

Summary:
For sixty years Fletcher Steele practiced landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly seven hundred gardens, from Boston to Detroit, and New Brunswick, Canada, to Asheville, North Carolina. Often brilliant, always original, Steele’s work is considered by many to constitute the essential link between nineteenth-century Beaux-Arts formalism and modern landscape design.
