Summary:
The leading landscape gardener of later Georgian England, Humphry Repton (17521818), was innovative and prolific, undertaking more than four hundred commissions during his thirty-year career. Repton worked for a wide variety of clients, notably the dukes of Portland and Bedford, and on many kinds of sites throughout England. He also promoted his profession in extensive writings about the theory and practice of landscape gardening. This book examines Repton's career and work in the context of the changing human geography of his time. Fully illustrated with many previously unpublished pictures, the book charts Repton's vision of England, how his style changed and persisted over time and from place to place, how he influenced his profession, and how he fashioned a social identity for himself. Stephen Daniels frames Repton's life and work in terms of five domains: the road, the county, the picturesque landscape, the aristocratic estate, and the urban periphery. Focusing on the way these domains shaped Repton's career and how he in turn attempted to shape them, Daniels examines in depth more than twenty representative commissions that delineate Repton's social and spatial theory of landscape. The author casts new light not only on the work of Humphry Repton but also on the role of landscape itself in English culture and society.

Summary:
L'intérêt grandissant pour le patrimoine des jardins a eu pour corollaire, ces dernières années, un renouvellement des recherches historiques, qui a permis de le replacer dans le cadre d'une approche culturelle complexe, alliant arts, sciences et techniques. Dans ce contexte, il devient indispensable d'interroger l'historiographie, de retracer une certaine généalogie de la recherche, pour en comprendre les avancées, les aléas et les lacunes. Ernest de Ganay (1880-1963) fait ici figure de pionnier. À la fois amateur éclairé, poète de la mouvance symboliste et historien rigoureux, il fut un acteur de premier plan de la vie culturelle de l'entre-deux-guerres. Il élabora alors une œuvre importante où se conjuguent des analyses monographiques, nourries d'une profonde familiarité avec les jardins eux-mêmes, et d'ambitieuses synthèses qui reposent sur une parfaite maîtrise des sources. Bibliophile, éditeur savant de textes inédits ou de traités oubliés, il a établi une Bibliographie de l'art des jardins, travail resté longtemps inédit dont il légua le manuscrit, avec l'ensemble de ses archives à la bibliothèque des Arts décoratifs (Paris). Associant la réédition de cette compilation savante, qui reste un ouvrage de référence pour les chercheurs et les amateurs, au texte du Poème des jardins (1919), ainsi qu'à la publication de l'inventaire des "Papiers de Ganay" conservés à la bibliothèque des Arts décoratifs, ce livre propose un portrait intellectuel d'un des pères fondateurs de l'histoire des jardins en France.

Summary:
Envisioned as a new urban model for sculpture parks, the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park is located on the city’s last undeveloped waterfront property—a nine-acre industrial site sliced by train tracks and an arterial road. New York–based architecture, landscape, and urban design firm Weiss/Manfredi has created a continuous constructed landscape for art that rises over the existing infrastructure to reconnect Seattle’s urban core to the revitalized waterfront. The park not only brings art outside the museum walls but also brings the park itself into the landscape of the city. This study offers an opportunity to take a fresh look at the city and explore some hypotheses about the wider meaning of an urban design project.

In 1969, House and Garden magazine commissioned one of the first minimalist artists, Patricia Johanson, to propose new directions for American garden art. Having never been exhibited or published before as a whole, the resulting garden proposals reveal an unknown dimension of the New York art world of the late 1960s.

Summary:
In 1969, House and Garden magazine commissioned one of the first minimalist artists, Patricia Johanson, to propose new directions for American garden art. Having never been exhibited or published before as a whole, the resulting garden proposals reveal an unknown dimension of the New York art world of the late 1960s. Three years of research have brought 146 surviving drawings to light. They demonstrate the intimate progress of the artist’s engagement with nature in her quest for an art concerned with ethical relationships between humans and the natural world. Shuttling between the West and the East, and the contemporary and the historical, Johanson takes equal distances from earthworks created by her peer artists such as Robert Smithson, and the environmentalism advocated by landscape architects following Ian McHarg. Her vision of a new modernity is still significant today. The book is divided into 2 volumes, and includes a preface by Stephen Bann and a catalogue of 146 original garden proposals.
