Summary:
Landscape architecture is a unique discipline where art, nature and the city converge and enter into an exciting dialogue. In the USA, the country of vast open plains and spacious towns, the great tradition of life in confrontation with nature plays an equally important role in landscape architecture as the acute problems of the built environment or social problems within the community. Design methods and practise in landscape architecture form the focus of this book, complemented by an analysis of the theoretical aspects of the subject. Perceptive portraits of 13 offices span the whole breadth of landscape design, from the post-ecological utopia of Michael Sorkin (New York/Vienna) to the urban pragmatism of the Roma Design group (San Francisco), from the ecological approach of the Philadelphia group Andropogon, also active in Japan, to the minimalist landscape art of Kathryn Gustafson (Seattle/London/Paris).

Et pourquoi, une fois construits, ces jardins ont-ils traversé les siècles ? Ce livre montre que les jardins de Versailles sont nés d'une visée politique, qu'ils ont été réalisés par une solide équipe dont le roi faisait partie, et qu'ils ont bénéficié du concours de savants comme Romer, l'abbé Picard, Mariotte... Le génie de Le Nôtre a fait le reste. Ami du roi, avec qui il partageait un goût très vif pour la peinture de paysage, il a magistralement organisé l'espace jusqu'aux horizons les plus lointains de l'Ile-de-France. Versailles est ainsi devenu une création pilote qui a influencé l'art des jardins dans toute l'Europe et qui s'est imposée en France même comme l'image d'un grand moment de notre civilisation.
