Summary:
During the summer months of 2011, the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst inaugurated a sculpture project on the grounds of the Froh Ussicht estate in Samstagern, Zurich. The project was inspired by Bomarzo, the famous Italian Renaissance garden populated with fantastical and monstrous sculptures and follies (i.e. buildings constructed primarily for the embellishment of a landscape). Artists Pablo Bronstein, Liz Craft, Ida Ekblad, Geoffrey Farmer, Kerstin Kartscher, Ragnar Kjartansson, Fabian Marti, Peter Regli and Thiago Rocha Pitta all devised their own fantastical narratives in response to Bomarzo. The Garden of Forking Paths enlarges upon this innovative exhibition with reproductions of installed works, and essays by architecture and garden theorists and writers on the history of follies and the interaction between art and garden: Lars Bang Larsen, Michael Bracewell, Horst Bredekamp, Brian Dillon, Patrick Eyres, Heike Munder, Anthony Vidler and Catherine Wood.

Un sujet majeur pour notre société qui pose la question de la nature en ville dans une perspective large, en abordant les dimensions historique, sociale, culturelle, botanique autant qu'écologique. En préambule à cette exposition, une introduction consistait en une série de panneaux retraçaient l'histoire du paysage en ville des origines à nos jours. Cet ouvrage très pédagogique et richement illustré reprend le texte de ces panneaux. Il offre un panorama complet de la manière dont les hommes, partout dans le monde, et à toutes les époques, ont voulu domestiquer la nature pour l'intégrer au coeur des villes.

Le XIXe siècle finissant, en Grande-Bretagne, l’urgence se fait sentir d’une alternative à la ville industrielle, qui suffoque et se paupérise. Prend forme alors, dans l’esprit de l’urbaniste Ebenezer Howard, le concept de cité-jardin : une ville hors la ville qui renoue avec la nature et procure à ses habitants les conditions d’un bien-être individuel et collectif.(...)

Prend forme alors, dans l’esprit de l’urbaniste Ebenezer Howard, le concept de cité-jardin : une ville hors la ville qui renoue avec la nature et procure à ses habitants les conditions d’un bien-être individuel et collectif. Qu’en est-il aujourd’hui de ces ensembles de logements, hier fiertés nationales ? Adoptant tour à tour le point de vue de l’histoire, de l’expérience et de la prospective, une soixantaine de contributeurs internationaux dressent ici un état des lieux contrasté. S’il dénote une inquiétude manifeste quant au devenir des réalisations historiques, il témoigne aussi d’un véritable espoir : celui de voir renaître l’esprit des cités-jardins au sein d’un urbanisme contraint de se repenser face aux enjeux d’un monde en mutation.

A growing, living house, a building made of a plant seems to be a contradiction in terms. Nevertheless, the Khasi in eastern India already knew how to connect the roots of rubber trees to form footbridges, and in southern Germany dance linden trees formed the centre of villages for centuries.

Summary:
A growing, living house, a building made of a plant seems to be a contradiction in terms. Nevertheless, the Khasi in eastern India already knew how to connect the roots of rubber trees to form footbridges, and in southern Germany dance linden trees formed the centre of villages for centuries. Following on from this, the new discipline of Baubotanik is dedicated to designing with trees. Build projects, prototypes and visionary concepts point the way to a new green architecture. This introduction shows the possibilities of such living constructions and explains the botanical growth principles that guide the design. The basics of constructing with trees are presented. The book encourages a whole new look at architecture that becomes part of urban nature.

Summary:
For centuries, the cardinals, popes, and rulers of Italy have devoted themselves to creating vast villa gardens that represent their wealth and power, provide a calm refuge from city life, and showcase lavish plantings and rare flowers. Here, in over two hundred photographs — taken during the Edwardian era when these historic gardens were at their peak — twenty-two of central Italy's most ornate and spectacular palace gardens are presented. This publication reveals the vanished magnificence of the aristocracy's landscapes in images from the archives of Britain's Country Life magazine. Classic photographs display patterned grottoes, elaborate terraces, sophisticated fountains, antique statuary, and sun-dappled arbors to provide an important record of these gardens at a nostalgic moment in time, before the two World Wars provoked irrevocable changes in Italy's political and economic climate and many gardens fell into neglect. Discussing the history and design of each garden, author Helena Attlee brings to life the personalities responsible for such extravagant creations as the Alley of a Hundred Fountains at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, the swirling parterres de broderie of Villa Doria Pamphili in Rome, the broad terraces and majestic staircases of the Vatican Gardens, the frescoed loggia of the Villa Medici in Fiesole, and the border of innumerable citrus trees circling the Isolotto in Florence's famous Boboli Gardens.
