Summary:
Beatrix Farrand: Private Gardens, Public Landscapes presents the life and work of one of the foremost landscape designers of the early 1900s. Born into a prominent New York family (she was the niece of Edith Wharton), Farrand eschewed the traditional social life of the Gilded Age to pursue her passion for landscape and plants. Many of her clients were members of the highest echelon of society with estates in Newport, the Berkshires, and Maine, but Farrand ultimately became a consultant for university campuses, including Yale and Princeton, and for public gardens, including the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at The New York Botanical Garden. Perhaps her best-known work is the extensive garden at Dumbarton Oaks, originally a private residence and now a research institute of Harvard University.

Summary:
This multi-layered book chronicles the development of Vienna's biggest new park since 1974, Rudolf-Bednar-Park. The story starts with the city's design competition, won by Swiss landscape architect Guido Hager, and follows the planning and construction process right up to the park's opening in 2008. Hager's plans considered every possible constituency for the park - families, singles, young, old, women, men - and how they would be woven into the neighborhood, an inner-city district of Vienna under intense redevelopment. The book even includes a section on the plant material chosen, and how it will appear season-by-season.

Summary:
Le paysage constitue une perspective nouvelle pour la pensée de la ville, dans un contexte qui n'est plus celui de la ville historique mais bien plutôt celui de l'urbanisation générale du monde. Plus encore, le souci du paysage tient aujourd'hui une place décisive dans les préoccupations pour la qualité des cadres de vie offerts aux populations, en relation avec les interrogations sur l'identité des lieux, sur la gouvernance des territoires, ou encore sur la protection des environnements naturels. De façon convergente, on observe qu'un véritable champ de recherche s'est organisé autour de la question du paysage, où se croisent plusieurs disciplines (sciences sociales, histoire et théorie des arts et de la littérature, philosophie, écologie, géographie, architecture et urbanisme, agronomie). Une nouvelle culture du paysage prend son essor, qui correspond sans doute à de nouvelles formes d'expérience de l'espace, de la société et de la nature, et en tout cas à de nouvelles aspirations collectives concernant l'environnement. Mais cette convergence entre le développement de la recherche et un contexte social et politique devenu plus attentif aux enjeux paysagers fait apparaître des horizons inédits, aussi bien pour les pratiques professionnelles des aménageurs et des paysagistes que pour les théories paysagères.
