Summary:
Le mouvement Mid-Century Modem a marqué le design et l'architecture des années 1950, de l'immédiat après-guerre jusqu'au début des années 1970. Il est à l'origine d'une véritable révolution dans l'habitat, qui nous apparaît encore aujourd'hui d'une extrême modernité. Laissant largement entrer la lumière dans les maisons, brouillant les limites entre intérieur et extérieur, privilégiant les utilisations familiales du jardin pensé comme une véritable pièce à vivre au grand air, le style Mid-Century Modem reste plus que jamais d'actualité. Ce livre présente les liens entre le jardin et la maison dans le cadre de ce mouvement et les enseignements qu'on peut en tirer aujourd'hui.

Summary:
''Layered Landscapes Lofoten, Understanding of Complexity, Otherness and Change'' aims to challenge internalized concepts about how landscapes are considered and investigated, to open for alternative research, and legitimize subjective, singular and experimental approaches as valid and appreciated as a foundation for an informed process. These approaches take into consideration both the landscape and the practices taking place in the landscape, that are consistently full of individual and collective stories and experiences - the complexity created in both time and space, which influences our societies not only as traces of historical events, but as present realities and even expectations and what is to become.

Summary:
Mighty oak trees are a symbol of strength and resilience, thanks to their longevity and immense size. Some of the oldest of these trees are nearly a thousand years old. They have stood watch as empires rose and fall. But they also mark the passage of time on a smaller scale. Many who grow up near a favorite oak see it as an enduring presence in their lives—a magnificent constant in their changing lives. Artist Mark Frith grew up near ones of these oaks and developed a closeness to one local character—the Great Oak at Nibley Green. It was this oak that inspired Frith to put graphite to paper and begin a remarkable series of large-scale oak drawings. Now, twenty-two of his works are collected here for the first time in "A Legacy of Ancient Oaks".

The story of apples begins in an unexpected place: with bears. While popular culture likes to link honey with these creatures, DNA evidence shows that it might be more accurate for Winnie the Pooh to be munching on an ancestor of Red Delicious. And while apples are modern America’s second favorite fruit (after “berries”), their origins lie in ancient China. These are just(...)

Summary:
The eighteenth-century phenomenon of the English landscape garden was so widespread that even today, when so much has been built over or otherwise changed, examples remain throughout England. Although seemingly natural, the English landscape was generally the result of considerable effort, contrivance, and design skill, the glorious outcome of ''the art that conceals art.'' Taking many forms, the landscape garden might involve digging lakes, raising or leveling hills, or planting vast numbers of trees—whatever was required to show nature to best advantage. Illustrated throughout, this book uncovers the complex, multi-layered, and wide-ranging story of the landscape garden in England.
