Summary:
For nearly thirty years, starting in the 1960s, Franklin D. Murphy was a dominant figure in the cultural development of Los Angeles. As chancellor of UCLA and later as chief executive of the Times Mirror company, Murphy channeled more than a billion dollars into the city's universities, museums, concert halls, and libraries. The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, one of his landmark projects, is also one of the UCLA campus's great treasures. Standing as a model for sculpture gardens internationally since its dedication in 1967, the Murphy Garden features seventy-two important modern and contemporary sculptures in a five-acre site designed by landscape architect Ralph Cornell. This fully-illustrated catalog documents the entire Murphy Garden collection and provides a scholarly entry for each artist – a sampling of which includes Deborah Butterfield, Alexander Calder, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Auguste Rodin, and David Smith. Three essays–by Victoria Steele, Cynthia Burlingham, and Marc Treib – focus respectively on the role of Franklin Murphy in the garden's planning and execution, the acquisition of the sculptures, and the garden's significance within the history of sculpture garden design. Published by the Hammer Museum, University of California, Los Angeles.

Summary:
Leisure has a huge impact on European landscapes. Contemporary Western life has given rise to all sorts of mobilities, flexibilities and incentives that fuel the sometimes dramatic changes in the landscape we are witnessing today. Can the relationship between leisure and landscape be a productive one and, if so, under what conditions? This complex relationship was the subject of a European project, instigated by Dirk Sijmons, Dutch Government Advisor on Landscape, involving thirty universities from twenty countries. This book presents the resulting design proposals in facts, figures, essays, illustrations, bibliography, maps, and photography by Martin Parr.

Summary:
Qui ne connaît le château de Versailles et ses jardins?. Et pourtant, nul n'a abordé les messages cachés que cet ouvrage révèle. À travers le jeune héros et son guide Elouane, le lecteur apprend à décrypter la symbolique de la statuaire des jardins, qui apparaît alors comme une mémoire de pierre, de marbre et de bronze. Parterres, bosquets, statues et fontaines, pièces d'eau et terrasses, font des jardins de Versailles une véritable base de données artistique, historique, politique, mais aussi ésotérique. L'esthétique le dispute à la matière, les mythes et les légendes à l'histoire. Inscrits et donc mémorisés dans les jardins, les allégories et les symboles livrent les intentions du créateur et le sens qu'il veut donner à sa pensée et à son action. Il faut donc savoir discerner le visible et l'invisible. Car c'est bien le mystère des jardins du château de Versailles : s'il y a des messages visibles, il y en a aussi d'invisibles. Mises en place volontairement et consciemment par ses créateurs, ce n'est pas tant les statues en elles-mêmes que leurs interactions qui délivrent ces messages. Dans ces jardins où tout est mythe et symbole, le lecteur découvrira qu'il y a du sens dans l'invisible.

In recent years, Carlos Ferrater's architecture studio has regularly and continuously developed new avenues for formal expression. This collection of projects comprises a family of independent experiences, joined by a common logic of design approximation: Geometry as a means of approximating landscape and urban forms. The book is divided into three parts: The time of Geometry, Research Process and Ideographical Resources. This framework aims to define the conditions whereby the job of architecture is to move from geometry to space by means of construction.

Summary:
Magnificent Buildings, Splendid Gardens returns to print some of the most important works of David Coffin, a leading authority on Renaissance architecture who, as one of the first scholars to apply the tools of art history to the study of gardens, became a founder of the discipline of garden and landscape studies. These essays span the wide range of Coffin's work, from Italian Renaissance architecture, garden design, sculpture, and drawings to English gardens and landscape designers of the seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries. Coffin's approaches are as varied as his subject matter. Some of these essays present the results of his archival research, including his discovery of crucial documents on the Emilian architect Giovan Battista Aleotti and the only documentary evidence identifying Vignola as the architect of the Villa Lante at Bagnaia. Other essays take a much broader cultural view, investigating, for example, the phenomenon of public access to private Renaissance gardens, elucidating the evolving meaning of images of the goddess Venus in English gardens, and identifying the significance of the decorative programs of monuments as diverse as the Villa Belvedere in Rome and the eighteenth-century gardens at Rousham in Oxfordshire. The book also includes a commentary on each essay, written by one of Coffin's former students; a full analytical index; and a complete bibliography of Coffin's work.
