Summary:
Over nearly six decades of practice, Robert Royston (1918–2008) shaped the postwar Bay Area landscape with visionary designs for public spaces. Early in his career, Royston conceived of the "landscape matrix," a system of interconnected parks, plazas, and parkways that he hoped could bring order and amenity to rapidly developing suburbs. The idea would inform his work on more than two thousand projects as diverse as school grounds, new towns, transit corridors, and housing tracts. As an apprentice of Thomas Church, Royston gained experience with residential gardens that influenced his early designs for public parks. At a time when neighborhood parks were typically limited to playing fields and stock playground equipment, Royston created imaginative facilities for the American family, offering activities for people of all ages.

Summary:
Michel Desvigne is the most renowned French landscape architect in the world. Based in Paris, he has held guest professorships at such institutions as the Architectural Association in London and Harvard University. Desvigne's projects have a strong strategic and conceptual component. Urban infrastructure projects play a major role, and emphasize the urban planning and design expertise evident in his landscape architecture. The book documents ten of Devigne's major projects from France, the US, Spain and Qatar, in which he is responsible not only for the landscape architecture, but for coordination of the entire project. How can such highly complex projects be realized? What does the intellectual thought process look like? What specific problems arise in their realization?

Basé à Paris, Michel Desvigne est un architecte paysagiste connu à l'international. Il a été professeur invité à l'Architectural Association de Londres, à l'Université de Harvard et ailleurs. Les projets Desvignes ont une forte composante stratégique et conceptuelle. Les projets de transport qui soulignent la compétence d'urbanisme et de planification de son architecture de paysage jouent un rôle majeur. Le livre documente dix projets majeurs Desvignes en France, aux USA, en Espagne et au Qatar, pour lesquels il est non seulement responsable de l'architecture du paysage mais aussi de l'ensemble de la gestion du projet. Comment mettre en œuvre des projets aussi complexes? Comment se développe le train de la pensée intellectuelle? Quels problèmes spécifiques rencontrez-vous lors de la mise en œuvre?
