Summary:
Une synthèse inédite de l’art des jardins au XXè siècle. L'humanité a toujours essayé de façonner la nature selon l'idée qu'elle se faisait de la perfection – cette notion évoluant au gré des époques –, oscillant entre le désir de la maîtriser et celui de la laisser libre. Au XXè siècle, l’art des jardins et le paysagisme en France n’ont cessé de soulever à leur manière(...)

Summary:
Une synthèse inédite de l’art des jardins au XXè siècle. L'humanité a toujours essayé de façonner la nature selon l'idée qu'elle se faisait de la perfection – cette notion évoluant au gré des époques –, oscillant entre le désir de la maîtriser et celui de la laisser libre. Au XXè siècle, l’art des jardins et le paysagisme en France n’ont cessé de soulever à leur manière un débat essentiel, opposant les partisans d’une beauté «libre» et «naturelle», soucieux de préserver la diversité des paysages et des écosystèmes, à ceux d’une beauté soumise à la puissance rationnelle et unificatrice de la technique. Parmi les livres consacrés à l’histoire de l’art des jardins en France, peu nombreux sont ceux qui traitent du Xè siècle. Cet ouvrage richement illustré de Jean-Pierre Le Dantec synthétise ce débat en confrontant le «sauvage» et le «régulier», qui ont marqué la création jardiniste et paysagiste française tout au long du XXè siècle, depuis les conceptions de Jean-Claude-Nicolas Forestier jusqu'à notre époque d'«urbain généralisé», en passant par le jardin art déco ou cubiste de Véra, Moreux, Gévrékian ou Lurçat ou le paysagisme «bocager» de Le Corbusier dans l'entre-deux guerres. De nos jours, le débat se situe entre les défenseurs intransigeants des écosystèmes existants et les partisans de la toute puissance de la technique. Premier à embrasser dans sa totalité cette histoire méconnue, cet ouvrage entend rendre justice à un art réputé mineur en le situant dans son contexte social, politique, économique, culturel et international. À l'heure où la vogue des jardins fait en France un retour étonnant, ce livre propose de multiples axes de réflexion : le jardin ne serait-il pas un miroir de notre société ouverte, urbaine, technologique et démocratique ?

Title:
Nature and the idea of a man-made world : an investigation into the evolutionary roots of form and order in the built environment
Actions:
Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
Crowe evaluates the connections between the natural and manmade in our towns and cities, farms and gardens, architecture and works of civil engineering. He draws on the lessons to be learned from the buildings and cities of the past in restoring critical traditional values that have been lost to modernism which tends to see the built world almost exclusively through the abstractions of postenlightenment science. Crowe's starting point is indigenous architecture, the origins of our cities and towns where the first geometries were imposed on nature. He traces our separation from nature over time, from the long period of human history when nature served as a paradigm for creation.

Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) designed New York City's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Chicago's South Park and Jackson Park, Montreal's Mount Royal Park, the park systems of Boston and Buffalo, and many others. But Olmsted's concerns extended beyond the hills and lakes, the flora and fauna of the park: he also designed parkways and neighborhoods, reshaping(...)

Summary:
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) designed New York City's Central Park, Brooklyn's Prospect Park, Chicago's South Park and Jackson Park, Montreal's Mount Royal Park, the park systems of Boston and Buffalo, and many others. But Olmsted's concerns extended beyond the hills and lakes, the flora and fauna of the park: he also designed parkways and neighborhoods, reshaping cities around their parks. He thus reinvented the American urban landscape as a democratic outdoor setting that encouraged a new kind of participation in city life. Olmsted was one of the most gifted of American writers of his generation: prior to designing Central Park, he had written five important books, including The Cotton Kingdom (an account of his travels in the slave states, also available from Da Capo Press); and his writings on American landscapes are unfailingly lively, eloquent, and passionate. Civilizing American Cities collects Olmsted's plans for New York, San Francisco, Buffalo, Montreal, Chicago, and Boston; his suburban plans for Berkeley, California and Riverside, Illinois; and a generous helping of his writings on urban landscape in general. These selections, expertly edited and introduced, are not only enjoyable but essential reading for anyone interested in the history - and the future - of America's cities.

George Plumptre traces the use of ornamental features throughout the history of the Western garden from the great formal gardens of Italy and France to the more intimate creations of contemporary design. Taking the principal categories of ornament in turn, he shows how, over the last five hundred years, garden designers have used stone, wood, and metal to enhance and(...)

Taking the principal categories of ornament in turn, he shows how, over the last five hundred years, garden designers have used stone, wood, and metal to enhance and modify the natural features of the landscape. He then analyzes the role of ornament in modern garden design, showing how long-held and tested principles of design can be applied imaginatively in the typical modern garden. With special contribution by Jamie Garnock and James Rylands. Photographs by Hugh Palmer.
