The authors investigate this seemingly simple question: how are locations and spaces created in the open air, how are paths routed and boundaries set, how are hard and soft materials used? Drawing on practical and theoretical experience, this introduction, often used as a textbook, reveals the central components(...)

Summary:
Jeff Wall (born 1946) is both one of the most innovative and classic photographers of his generation. He became well known in the 1970s for his large-format transparencies, backlit by fluorescent lightboxes. His subject matter is varied and wide-ranging, based on situations experienced by the artist that are then recreated for the camera. Wall's combination of color prints and lightbox images, which he calls "cinematic" photographs, were completely novel and somewhat controversial when he first used them: only black-and-white photographs were considered appropriate for a serious museum exhibit. In 1996, Wall expanded his repertoire to begin producing monochrome images, further exploring the cinematographic--particularly film noir--and the aesthetics of classic photography.

Summary:
Planting, by landscape architects Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury, is a groundbreaking moment in horticulture. It is the first book to share Oudolf's original planting plans and plant groupings and the only book to explicitly show how his gardens and landscapes are made. An intimate knowledge of plants is essential to the success of this approach and Planting makes Oudolf's considerable understanding of plant ecology and performance accessible, explaining how plants behave in different situations, what goes on underground, and which species make good neighbors. Extensive plant charts and planting plans will help you choose plants for their structure, color, and texture as well as the way they perform in the landscape. A detailed directory, with details each plant's life expectancy, the persistence of its seedheads, its tendency to spread, and propensity to self-seed, is an invaluable resource.Planting is an essential resource for designers and gardeners looking to create plant-rich, beautiful gardens that support biodiversity and nourish the human spirit.

Summary:
Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871), prince quelque peu excentrique — son ami, le poète Heinrich Heine, le nommait « le plus fashionable de tous les originaux » — est surtout connu pour ses créations paysagères. L'Allemagne lui doit deux de ses plus beaux parcs à grande échelle : celui de Branitz dans le Brandebourg, et celui de Muskau en Saxe, aujourd’hui classé au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco. Encouragé par sa rencontre à Weimar avec Goethe en 1810 à persévérer dans l’art paysager, ce « prince parcomane » se forgea au fil de ses lectures et de ses visites de parcs, particulièrement en Angleterre, une esthétique toute personnelle qu’il consigna en 1834 dans ses Aperçus sur l’art du jardin paysager. D’une importance majeure dans l’histoire de ce style, cet ouvrage, affranchi de l’influence anglaise, contribua au rayonnement de son auteur auprès des princes Charles et Guillaume de Prusse (futur empereur) ainsi qu’au-delà des frontières allemandes — notamment en France, où son autorité en matière de jardins fut reconnue par Louis-Philippe et par Napoléon III.

Ici, une longue promenade sur quatre saisons, d'un été au printemps suivant, à travers des jardins proches, à Paris et en Île-de-France, mêlés à la réminiscence des paysages lointains, l'Italie et le Japon, la Bretagne et l'Himalaya. En mélangeant les jardins et leurs époques, la promenade surprend sans cesse par le côtoiement de l'héritage et de l'inclassable, et offre la possibilité de penser notre époque en pensant ce qu'on a sous les yeux.
